Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Grey's transformation from a humiliated figure in Episode 16 to a coldly pragmatic enforcer in Episode 17 underscores his ruthless determination to maintain control over the prisoners and the illicit scheme. This character continuity reinforces the conflict arc, showing Grey's evolution from a planner to an active participant in brutal enforcement.
