How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Leela’s defiance against Borusa in E22 directly precedes the Doctor’s harsh exile sentence for Leela in E23, showing how institutional figures either resist or perpetuate punitive authority. This callback highlights the cycle of repressive control on Gallifrey.
