Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s demand that Kelner ensure Leela’s attendance and accommodation at his induction (Episode 21) directly leads to Leela’s desperate intervention during the ceremony in Episode 22. Leela’s presence and her attempt to remove the circlet are a direct consequence of the Doctor’s earlier directives."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain showcases the Doctor’s manipulation of Gallifrey’s hierarchy. By asserting control over Leela’s presence and attire in Episode 21, he inadvertently creates a scenario where her emotional attachment to him is weaponized against the Time Lords, triggering the collapse of his presidency.
