Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 106, Mary is present but not directly challenged; the focus is on Anne. In Episode 201, Henry's rage at Mary's defiance becomes the central issue, escalating the conflict from Anne's removal to Mary's subjugation, showing the intensification of the same political struggle.
