Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Rafe's warning about the omen of the giant fish and his caution that tying fortunes to Anne Boleyn is risky foreshadows Episode 4, where Anne's paranoia about enemies everywhere and the threat of the Holy Maid of Kent materialize, confirming the precariousness of their position."

The longer arc this connection carries
