Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's decision to interrogate Geoffrey Pole in Episode 4 (exploiting fear) is part of his long-term strategy to eliminate threats. In Episode 5, Rafe warns that Riche is ambitious and Fitzwilliam is untrustworthy—the same pattern of suspicion Cromwell once applied to the Poles now applies to his own circle, showing his isolation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The narrative thread here is the erosion of trust. In Episode 4, Cromwell actively cultivates distrust of the Poles to advance his position. By Episode 5, the same suspicion has infected his own network—his allies are now viewed through the same lens he used against his enemies.
