Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows Rochford acting as a cooperative facilitator for Cromwell, a direct reversal of her earlier defiance. She now uses her court access to smooth Cromwell's political operations, indicating she has absorbed his warning and is carving out a role as a useful intermediary rather than an antagonist.
