Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cavendish's earlier warning about Wolsey's pride as the root of his downfall is directly fulfilled in Wolsey's death, where that pride has led to his isolation and need for last rites without the King's favor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a direct causal chain: Cavendish identifies Wolsey's fatal flaw (pride) in Episode 2, and by Episode 6, that flaw has culminated in Wolsey's death. Cavendish's role shifts from cautious critic to the sole mourner, showing his unwavering loyalty despite his earlier warnings.
