Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Cromwell's statement in 106 that he is 'bringing down a queen of England' foreshadows his next target: Mary, as he deploys spies to break her defiance in 201."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 106, Cromwell tells Chapuys he is occupied with Anne. In Episode 201, immediately after Anne's execution, he dispatches Rafe and Wriothesley to pressure Mary, fulfilling the foreshadowed shift in focus from the queen to the princess.
