Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Henry's explosive temper in Episode 5, directed at both Chapuys and Cromwell, demonstrates how quickly he can turn on those he suspects. This directly sets up the perilous position Cromwell occupies in Episode 6, where his success has made him the next target of Henry's suspicion.
