Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 2, Cromwell recalls serving More as a kitchen boy at Lambeth Palace, a moment of humble connection. In Episode 3, More rejects Cromwell’s plea to save Bainham with the damning phrase ‘You’ll be company for each other. In Hell.’ The personal history makes More’s coldness more devastating."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This echo frames the relationship as one of rising stakes: from a shared past to an ideological chasm. Cromwell’s attempt to appeal to More’s humanity fails precisely because More has become the unyielding zealot foreshadowed in the earlier dinner scene. It deepens the tragedy of their estrangement.
