Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"John's traumatized participation in Vicky's autopsy (forcing him to gaze at a display of exhibits) foreshadows his professional role in Episode 4, where forensic evidence implicates him indirectly through traceability."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The psychological and professional toll of handling Vicky's case plants John's name within forensic links that Andy later asserts. This visible discomfort among exhibits cements Andy’s suspicion when her phone number appears on John’s personal records.
