Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Leela's ideological commitment in Part 1 to her confrontational action in Part 2, demonstrating a clear escalation in her defiance against Time Lord authority. Her pledge to support the Doctor's cause (even dubiously obtained) legitimizes her aggressive resistance in the Panopticon scene, where she physically challenges Borusa's order to seize her.
