Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s demand to refurbish presidential quarters in Episode 21 parallels his order to expel Leela in Episode 22 — both are assertions of authority over space and people, disguised as procedural necessity. The shift from physical space (quarters) to human presence (Leela) reflects his escalating calculus of control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events weaponize bureaucratic language to assert dominance: decorative demands (Episode 21) vs. expulsive commands (Episode 22). Though different in tone, both reflect the Doctor’s use of performative authority to reshape Gallifrey’s social and physical order — a thematic escalation from decoration to expulsion.
