Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events show Leela being excluded or restricted from full participation by those in authority (Doctor excluding her from Nucleus threat; Doctor excluding her from TARDIS operation). Her reactive discovery of this exclusion forms a foundational emotional apprehension driving her rebellion."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional wound of exclusion is the same cause of action in both episodes — she discovers the exclusion and reacts. In E08 it’s external exclusion; in E21 it’s interpersonal exclusion. This emotional echo creates a continuous thread of feeling throughout the two narrative moments.
