Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 5, Cromwell spots Catherine Howard among Anne of Cleves' maids — warning of Norfolk's influence through her. In Episode 6, Gardiner and Norfolk accuse Cromwell of trying to place Mary on the throne to 'protect her from Norfolk's niece' — directly referencing the threat Catherine Howard represents."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cromwell's awareness of Catherine as Norfolk's political weapon in Episode 5 foreshadows how that very relationship is used to convict him in Episode 6, when Gardiner frames Cromwell's protection of Mary as treason against Norfolk's niece (Catherine).
