Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela's willingness to absorb the full voltage of the electrical circuits to sever Xoanon's psychic link (Episode 16) demonstrates her bravery and self-sacrifice. This same willingness to take risks is seen in Episode 20 when she agrees to use the helium gas canister trap despite its danger."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Leela's character arc of evolving from a tribal warrior fighting external threats to a strategic partner aiding the Doctor in complex plans. Her bravery is now channeled into calculated risks rather than raw instinct.
