Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor entrusting the Great Key to Leela (Episode 25) directly leads to his subsequent reliance on hypnosis to secure the Key via Rodan (Episode 26), creating a strategic chain of delegation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s validation of unconventional alliances (Leela → Rodan) creates a direct causal thread, culminating in his morally fraught hypnotism—this reflects Andred’s evolving role as participant in these improvisations.
