Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deception of Solicitor Grey (claiming loyalty to King George) in Episode 16 leads to him being taken away, which sets up the power vacuum exploited by Ffinch and Perkins in Episode 17."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's strategic deception in Episode 16 directly enables the subsequent interactions in Episode 17, where Ffinch reveals Grey's control over prisoner disposal, creating a narrative bridge between the gaol and the inn.
