Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly's threat in Episode 15 ('We'll end up in Inverness gaol') foreshadows Kirsty's accusation against Ffinch in Episode 16, where she directly links Inverness gaol to the injustices of the Redcoats ('Tis no thanks to you that my father and Jamie weren't hanged'). Both events highlight the shared struggle against imprisonment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier mention of Inverness gaol as a looming threat in Episode 15 is directly referenced in Episode 16, where Kirsty's rage is fueled by the realization that their friends are likely imprisoned there. This foreshadows the thematic focus on survival in the face of systemic oppression.
