Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's willingness to 'figuratively' eliminate Harry Percy in Episode 3 establishes his pragmatism with Boleyn family members, making Jane Rochford's later targeting of George believable — she knows Cromwell can be persuaded to act against the Boleyns."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
George Boleyn's trajectory: In Episode 3, George is grateful for Cromwell's solution. In Episode 4, Jane Rochford's insinuations about George being Anne's 'go-between' exploit Cromwell's demonstrated willingness to sacrifice Boleyn family members for political expediency.
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.
