Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela's decision to take violent control of the maroons (symbolizing her rejection of helplessness) foreshadows her immediate physical intervention when the Doctor becomes infected. Both moments showcase her acting on instinct when faced with corruption in allies."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Leela's warrior pragmatism evolves from using weapons against external threats (Rutan) to using them against an internalized corruption (infected Doctor). This continuity establishes her loyalty threshold: once crossed, she will forcibly contain any threat to survival.
