How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela's warrior instincts, honed in the Fang Rock crisis where she seized the maroons for control, resurface in Image of the Fendahl when she is paralyzed by the Fendahleen's psychic grip, showing her struggle to reconcile instinct with trust and nonviolent resolution."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries

In Horror of Fang Rock, she takes decisive violent action (grabbing maroons), while in Image of the Fendahl, she is paralyzed by psychic force, highlighting her evolving but unresolved struggle.
