Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's guilt over Dorothea's accusation in Episode 3 directly causes him to confess that same guilt to Jenneke in Episode 4, seeking absolution and understanding."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a direct emotional arc: in the earlier episode, Dorothea accuses Cromwell of betraying Wolsey, which shatters his self-righteous facade. In the later episode, Cromwell explicitly recounts this accusation to Jenneke, admitting 'it has undone me' and 'I have lost my way.' The guilt motif is carried forward as a central psychological wound.
