Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's recollection in Episode 202 directly references the moment in Episode 106 when he lay in bed while Mark Smeaton screamed for mercy from the store room, and he chose not to free him."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is an explicit narrative link where a specific event from Episode 106 is remembered and confronted by Cromwell in Episode 202. It shows the lasting psychological weight of Smeaton's destruction on Cromwell's conscience, transforming the earlier act of political calculation into a source of personal guilt.
