Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Weng-Chiang’s dismissal of Chang in Episode 23 is mirrored when Chang returns in Episode 24, still offering blind loyalty despite being discarded."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pattern of Weng-Chiang using then discarding servants for failing him (Episode 23 with Chang) is echoed in Episode 24, where Chang returns to the cellar and offers to kill the Doctor on sight despite having been abandoned. This shows Weng-Chiang’s inability to inspire loyalty beyond utility—Chang’s devotion is a survival tactic, not true fealty.
