How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Cromwell's rise from the shadows of Wolsey's fall directly leads to his entanglement in the heresy investigations. His new position makes him a target, and his friend Wyatt is arrested as a consequence of Cromwell's association with reformist circles."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This is a CAUSAL link: the power vacuum and Cromwell's subsequent ascent (initiated by Wolsey's fall witnessed in Ep102) places him in the crosshairs of Thomas More's campaign against heretics, manifesting in Wyatt's arrest.
