Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate

"Leela’s demand for her ceremonial knife (Episode 21) escalates into direct, violent confrontation with authority during the induction resolution (Episode 22), where she physically resists arrest and challenges Borusa’s edict."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Leela’s defiance in Episode 21 over the confiscated weapon evolves into open rebellion in Episode 22 against the highest authority on Gallifrey. This escalation reflects her growing disillusionment and loyalty to the Doctor, forcing Andred — as the immediate enforcer — into a role of containment rather than compliance.
