Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's formal claim to the Gallifreyan Presidency (Ep 21) is visually and thematically echoed in Ep 22 when Leela attempts to remove the circlet during his induction—a direct callback to his earlier assertion that he had secured this authority."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This reinforces the theme of empty title versus real power: the Doctor's public authority is as performative as it is precarious, collapsing the moment challenged.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
