Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Tardis's forced departure (mentioned in Episode 18) is referenced again in Episode 19 when the group is commanded to travel to Peking. The Tardis is intentionally left behind, mirroring the Doctor's group's separation from their means of escape."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes emphasize the Tardis's forced departure and separation from the group, which becomes a recurring motif as they travel separately to Peking. This callback reinforces their powerlessness and the Khan's dominance.
