How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's survival of Chang's deadly theatrics sets off a chain reaction, forcing Weng-Chiang to confront his inability to control events, thus accelerating his brutality.
