How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's observation about Taren Capel's conspicuous absence ('missing strategist') in E20 mirrors his focus on Li H'sen Chang's hidden Tong affiliation in E21, both representing villains operating behind the scenes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both moments reflect the Doctor's pattern of noticing when key villains are missing or disguised, driving his investigations forward. Capel's absence cues the Doctor to the robots' true controller; Chang's disguise cues him to the Tong's infiltration.
