Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The TARDIS refuge sought by Leela in Episode 22 mirrors the 'wilderness refuge' they later flee to in Episode 23, but the dynamics flip: Rodan’s Citadel loyalty is now challenged by the same survival instincts that Leela embodies. The earlier sequence becomes a thematic mirror for their later shared peril.
