Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's success in convicting More with a London jury directly causes him to use the same mechanism against George Boleyn, establishing a repeatable template for judicial murder."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The More trial is the experimental proof-of-concept. Cromwell learns that London merchants will convict anyone they resent — whether a saintly intellectual (More) or an aristocratic libertine (George). The success in Ep 4 causes him to trust this method absolutely in Ep 6. He doesn't need to assemble a new jury or invent a new approach; he simply reuses the proven formula. The causal link is explicit: had More's jury failed, Cromwell might not have deployed the same tactic against the Boleyns.
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.
