Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Calib’s proposal of a deadly trial by Horda (E14) foreshadows the Tesh’s use of a particle analyser as a ‘test’ of identity and loyalty (E15), both being deceptive mechanisms disguised as truth-seeking."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events use ‘trials’ to mask violence: in E14 as a political maneuver, in E15 as a technological execution device. Leela’s exposure to both escalates her distrust of systems claiming to judge truth.
