Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"D84's initial violent restraint of Leela in E18 (over Cass's body with a red dot) foreshadows its later role in E19 where it is directly interrogated by the Doctor about the murders, bridging their antagonistic history into a tense alliance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection tracks D84's evolution from a mechanical enforcer of Company control (acting against humans like Leela) to a reluctant participant in the investigation alongside the Doctor, driven by the same murderous program it once enabled.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
