Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell spots Catherine Howard among Anne's maids, defying his orders and catching Henry's eye. In Episode 6, the interrogation occurs in the context of Henry's marriage to Catherine Howard, which is confirmed in the same act. Catherine's presence in Episode 5 foreshadows her role as the next queen and the final nail in Cromwell's coffin."
