"Smeaton's sullen, resentful demeanor in Episode 2 (playing mournful music while Anne rages) continues in Episode 4 where he makes snide remarks to the disgraced Mary Boleyn, showing his lack of deference and growing insolence toward the fallen."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection highlights Smeaton's consistent low-born resentment and opportunistic nature. His mournful music in Episode 2 reflects his sullen mood; by Episode 4, that sullenness has curdled into open mockery of a disgraced noblewoman, demonstrating a trait that will prove dangerous.
