Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's relentless pressure on Katherine and Mary in 103, as part of the Boleyn-driven campaign to legitimize Anne, directly enabled the chain of events that led to Thomas More's execution in 104, as the same religious and political reforms required More's elimination."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Boleyn rise (secured by displacing Katherine) and More's fall are two sides of the same coin: both driven by Cromwell's service to Henry's desire for Anne. This causal chain is the backbone of the conflict arc across the two episodes.
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.
