Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The family's decision in Episode 5 to advance Jane as a counter to Anne Boleyn directly leads to Jane's strategic analysis of Anne's downfall in Episode 6, as the family now actively plots Anne's ruin."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
John More's patriarchal directive to 'play [Henry] for a great reward' sets in motion the family's involvement in Anne's destruction. By Episode 6, Jane has internalized this mission, showing how the father's initial scheming has cascaded into concrete, family-wide anti-Anne strategy.
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.
