Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both scenes depict political theater where characters are stripped of agency. In Episode 5, Henry's tirade reduces Cromwell to a frozen target. In Episode 6, Anne sits motionless under her canopy while men surround her. The reversal: Cromwell was the object of the king's rage; Anne becomes the object of Cromwell's machinery."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thomas Audley is present in both — first trying to soothe Chapuys after Henry's outburst, then standing silently among the witnesses to Anne's surrender. His role shifts from concerned counselor to complicit witness, tracking his own moral trajectory alongside Cromwell's.
