Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pregnancy confirmed by Rochford directly leads to Jane's fatal puerperal fever. Rochford's role as attendant continues from confirming the pregnancy to witnessing the queen's decline, highlighting the tragic consequence of the very event she helped Cromwell manipulate.
