Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 3, Anne tells Cromwell 'When my son is born, they'll all be powerless.' In Episode 4, she suffers a miscarriage/hemorrhage discovered by Jane Rochford and Jane Seymour, making her promise null and her position acutely vulnerable."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Anne's desperate hope for a son in Ep 3 is the dramatic irony that makes her physical collapse in Ep 4 so devastating. The miscarriage is a direct causal consequence of the pregnancy she was relying on, and it triggers the collapse of her political power. Jane Rochford's presence at both events underscores her role as witness to Anne's trajectory.
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.
