Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s provocation of Leela’s warrior ethics in Episode 24 (mocking her 'prowess in killing') is validated by Leela’s literal use of those skills in Episode 25 to kill the Sontaran trooper."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation demonstrates a direct narrative intensification of conflict between idealism (Doctor) and pragmatism (Leela). What begins as ideological sparring in Episode 24 becomes visceral proof in Episode 25, driving Leela’s character arc toward a moment of undeniable, if reluctant, competence.
