Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 5, Henry's public questioning of his marriage's legitimacy leads to Anne's desperate behavior in Episode 6. After the miscarriage, Anne senses her power slipping and becomes more erratic—humiliating Mark Smeaton, provoking Norris, and slapping Rochford. Her cruelty is a direct response to Henry's growing hostility and her own fear of being discarded."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Anne's psychological unraveling in Episode 6 is a direct consequence of the political and personal crisis triggered in Episode 5. Her line 'your time has come' to Jane Rochford is ironic foreshadowing—it's actually Rochford whose time is coming to destroy her.
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.
