Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela’s survival instinct and bold deduction in Episode 16 (discovering the hidden control centre) parallels her realization in Episode 17 that the Minyan ship has outlived its homeworld, both demanding she recognize systems that outlast their creators."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both episodes, Leela confronts systems of power that persist beyond their original purpose: the Company’s surveillance network in Episode 16 and the Minyan’s doomed Quest in Episode 17. Her recognition of these continuities speaks to her deepening grasp of legacy and decay.
