Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"John's detached presence during the autopsy carries forward to his visible tension during Andy's briefing about forensic evidence linking Balmforth to Vicky, showing his guilt reflexively reacting to any mention of her."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The forensic evidence presentation in Episode 4 would naturally cause a guilty person to react strongly, but John's pre-existing guilt (established in Episode 3) makes his silent, tense reaction particularly significant.
