Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's willingness to use morally toxic negotiations (with Jane Rochford) to destroy his enemies carries forward into his new role, where Wolsey's ghost warns him of political threats and the need for strategic marriages."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The ruthless pragmatism Cromwell displays in Episode 6—using any means necessary to secure a confession—is the same mindset he brings to his new role in Episode 1. Wolsey's ghost's advice about marriages securing kingdoms echoes the political calculus Cromwell used to destroy Anne.
