Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's earlier intimidation of Perkins with Grey's pistol (E17) foreshadows Perkins' eventual defection to the Doctor's side in E18."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's threat ('you wouldn't want another headache') in E17 subtly conditions Perkins to fear him, making his later submission to the Doctor's authority and defection from Grey a callback to his earlier subjugation.
