Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Norfolk's wish in 102, 'It's a pity you don't work for me,' is ironically fulfilled in 103 when he carries out Cromwell's directive at Calais, effectively working for Cromwell in practice."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection completes a subtle narrative arc: Norfolk's attempt to recruit Cromwell as a subordinate results in the opposite—Cromwell becomes the commanding figure. It illustrates the theme that power flows to competence, not birth, and Norfolk's failure to anticipate this shift.
