Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 2, Riche tells Cromwell 'the King is not in our way. He is our way,' establishing his King-centered pragmatism. In Episode 3, Riche delivers a veiled threat to Queen Jane about her potential fate if she bears only a daughter, subtly enforcing that the King's will and male succession are the only paths."
