Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Collector's decision to halt Leela's execution (Ep 15 Act 2) enables her subsequent confrontation with him in his office (Ep 16), where he tries to execute his poison scheme."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Had the Collector executed Leela immediately, the Doctor's confrontation with him and the revelation of the poison scheme would not have occurred. This shows how the Collector's decision to interrogate her delayed events.
