Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's public expulsion of Leela in Part 2 foreshadows his later expulsion of others (e.g., perceived traitors to the Vardan regime) in Part 3. Both actions frame him as a ruthless leader willing to betray individuals for larger strategic goals."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This foreshadowing highlights the Doctor's moral flexibility and his willingness to make public sacrifices (of others) to maintain his private strategy. It sets up the audience's expectations for his later 'collaboration' with the Vardans, where his orders lead to expulsions and punishments.
