Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Rafe's capacity for deep, protective love—first directed at Cromwell, then revealed as directed at Helen. His plea 'Don't stay up working all hours tonight' and his confession 'I love her violently' both demonstrate the same emotional intensity, now redirected from filial to romantic love.
