Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's warning to Anne's women in Episode 1 (implied by his manipulation of the court) is directly echoed in Episode 6 when he tells Mary Shelton 'Protect yourself now, Mary. Be discreet. Be silent.'"

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback shows that Cromwell's strategy of cultivating informants within Anne's circle has come full circle. Mary Shelton, who was part of Anne's household in Episode 1, now needs to be protected from Anne's paranoia, fulfilling Cromwell's long-term plan.
