Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela's decisive intervention to save the Doctor from the Fendahl skull (Ep 11) reinforces her role as his protector, which carries into Ep 12 where she again takes immediate, instinctive action to safeguard him and their allies—this time against the Fendahl's psychic grip."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Leela's instinctive, protective reaction to the Doctor's distress (saving him from the skull in Ep 11) evolves into physical readiness in Ep 12, where she fights to free him and Tyler from psychic paralysis. This shows a direct continuity in her character trajectory: from reactive savior in Ep 11 to proactive defender in Ep 12, always prioritizing the Doctor's survival and mission over personal safety.
