Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The devastation of Culloden (seen in Episode 15) and the English soldiers' ruthless pursuit of Jacobite survivors directly motivates Solicitor Grey and Captain Trask's scheme to illegally transport prisoners to plantations in Episode 16."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The systemic brutality post-Culloden (Cand_evt_scene_446ae9a8ea731e3a_01) establishes the political and social environment where Grey and Trask can exploit legal loopholes to profit from the suffering of prisoners. The Doctor's infiltration in Episode 16 is a direct response to this systemic oppression.
