Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"More’s discovery of Tyndale’s smuggling operation in Antwerp (Episode 2) is the root cause of the intelligence network that delivers the damning letter about More’s opposition (Episode 3). The same Antwerp connection – Tyndale’s books – supplies Cromwell with proof of More’s enmity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link underscores how the hidden trade in heretical texts drives the hidden war between More and Cromwell. More tries to suppress the books; Cromwell uses the same channel to gather intelligence. It shows the information war that parallels the ideological one.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
