Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Buller's accusation of Chang's involvement in Emma's disappearance (Episode 21) haunts Chang into Episode 22, where he proactively seeks to erase Jago's memory of the confrontation — demonstrating his escalating paranoia and need to control narrative leaks about his operations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Li H'sen Chang's character arc from defensive (Episode 21: deflecting Buller's accusations) to proactive control (Episode 22: actively erasing Jago's memory). It shows a thematic escalation from reactive deflection to systematic mental manipulation as part of his role as Weng-Chiang’s enforcer.
