Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The scale of conflict escalates from a personal vendetta (Clantons vs. Doc Holliday) in the earlier episode to a corporate genocide (IMC eliminating colonists) in the later episode, with Morgan Earp as an enforcer in both."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 336, the violence is driven by personal revenge within a frontier community. In Episode 816, Morgan is part of a corporate order to eliminate an entire colony for profit. This escalation in the scope and moral stakes of the violence Morgan participates in marks a significant shift in his character's involvement in conflict.
