Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries forward the escalating threat of Chang's devotion to Weng-Chiang, showing how Leela's initial tracking of Chang (and thus Weng-Chiang's operations) leads directly to witnessing the horrors of Chang's later actions, such as the murder of Casey.
