Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Weng-Chiang’s dismissal of Chang due to repeated failures (Episode 23) creates the power vacuum into which Leela stumbles during her sewer escape (Episode 24). His desperation and isolation intensify, making his lair vulnerable to discovery—both are direct consequences of his deteriorating control over his network.
