The narrative assertion
"Weng-Chiang's criticism of Chang's assassination attempt on the Doctor (beat_d6447713a062c754) escalates the threat level, as the Doctor's status as a target is confirmed. This leads directly to the Doctor's confrontation with Weng-Chiang (beat_8afe0328bb95e3d5), where he faces the masked phantom in person."
