Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela’s expulsion and violent flight from Gallifrey (E22) directly fuels her defiant stance in the wilderness (E23). Her loyalty to the Doctor—now publicly cast as a traitor—drives her refusal to submit to the Vardans."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Leela’s transformation from a disowned companion to a fugitive warrior. Her public humiliation in Episode 22 (expulsion) catalyzes her unbroken loyalty to the Doctor, which defines her actions in Episode 23: advocating resistance, rejecting safety, and embracing survival instincts rather than institutional surrender.
