Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's refusal to explain Leela's absence and Mandrell's hostility toward him in Episode 14 set up Mandrell's eventual reluctant collaboration with the Doctor's rebellion plan in Episode 15, as Mandrell's institutional knowledge becomes critical."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mandrell's evolution from a hostile interrogator to a reluctant collaborator is rooted in his institutional knowledge and pragmatic adaptation to power shifts, as seen in his shift from Company enforcer to rebel leader in Episode 15.
