Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 5, Rafe reports the conspiratorial talk among Anne's courtiers (Norris, Weston, Brereton) about replacing the king. In Episode 6, Cromwell leverages that intelligence to target Norris and Weston in his Tower interrogations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The information gathered in Episode 5 (via Rafe's report, which also triggers Wolsey's ghost) directly enables the legal case in Episode 6. This causal link shows Cromwell's careful gathering of evidence before striking.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
