Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry's blame of Katherine for the failed marriage ('She lies in between me and the woman I love') and his subsequent neglect lead directly to her lonely death and the hollow funeral at Peterborough, where her corpse is displayed as a political relic."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Katherine's funeral is the final act in a trajectory set by Henry's hostility: the verbal condemnation in Episode 104 becomes an institutional erasure, with the funeral serving as a somber bookend to her loss of status.
About Causal Connections
