Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 5, Rafe Sadler reports to Cromwell that Weston, Brereton, and Norris have discussed a treasonous plan to impregnate Anne if Henry cannot. In Episode 6, Cromwell uses this intelligence to target these men, beginning with extracting a confession from Smeaton that names them."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The intelligence Rafe gathers in Episode 5 provides Cromwell with the specific names and the conspiracy framework he needs to build his case against Anne's courtiers in Episode 6, making the arrests possible.
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.
