Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's rejected offer of protection to Dorothea in Episode 2—'When those you trust abandon you, come to me'—is emotionally echoed in Episode 3 when Cromwell, alone in his study, whispers 'Wolsey… you old fool. You left me with the ledger, and I—I’ve been paying the interest in blood.'"

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both moments reveal Cromwell's guilt and sense of debt to Wolsey. In Episode 2, he tries to compensate through Dorothea; in Episode 3, he realizes the cost is far greater and more personal. This shows Dorothea's rejection deepening Cromwell's internal conflict across the episode boundary.
