How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor’s performative expulsion of Leela creates her status as a fugitive. His subsequent secret encounter with her in the corridor demonstrates the practical consequence of that expulsion — she remains in physical proximity, forced to seek refuge, which enables their later reunion."

About Causal Connections
