Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's silent witness to Henry's early-morning garden tryst with Jane at Wolf Hall (Episode 4) escalates into his calculated observation of Henry's public gaze shifting toward Jane during Katherine's funeral proceedings (Episode 5)—the garden intimacy now court theater."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The private garden moment—Henry taking Jane's hand—is the first visible crack in Anne's hold. By Episode 5, that crack becomes a chasm: Henry openly dismisses Katherine's memory while his attention drifts to Jane during court spectacle. Cromwell watches both times, his understanding of the shift deepening from suspicion to certainty.
