Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Morgan's prior attempt to eliminate the Doctor at Dent's command (sc_6-dent-orders-morgan) sets up the confrontation in Episode 17 where Morgan again draws a gun on the Doctor—this time after the Doctor has uncovered IMC's deception and infiltrated IMC forces."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link bridges the two episodes through Morgan's recurring actions. His violent intent toward the Doctor carries forward: after failing to kill him in the wilderness (Ep16), he later attempts to shoot him in the corridor (Ep17), showing escalating commitment to Dent's plan.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
