Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela's earnest request to travel with the Doctor—her self-motivated declaration of affection and desire—directly triggers the Doctor's reluctant resistance and finally her forcible entry into the TARDIS. This is the culmination of Leela's arc as a warrior seeking a new identity and purpose beyond tribal conflict."
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
