Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The mention of the 'real' Abbot's absence in Episode 23 (when Tavannes gives orders) calls back to the revelation in Episode 24 that the Abbot was murdered and the Doctor was impersonating him."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The political intrigue of Episode 23 depends on the Abbot's absence; this becomes a tragic reveal in Episode 24 — creating an ironic callback that deepens the tragedy of the Doctor's disguise being necessary because of actual murder.
