Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell warns Rochford to adapt to the new queen ('be jocund and pleasant, adapt yourself'). In the next episode, Rochford demonstrates that adaptation by secretly confirming Queen Jane's pregnancy to Cromwell, sharing intimate bodily knowledge and advising him on how to capitalize on the news."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Rochford heeds Cromwell's warning and transforms from a defiant, loose-tongued critic into a pragmatic informant. She uses her access to the queen's private body to secure her own position, directly responding to Cromwell's earlier command to adapt. This marks a key shift in her survival strategy.
