Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Rafe advises Cromwell to take Gregory into his confidence to rebuild trust. Instead, Cromwell remains isolated. In Episode 205, Rafe watches Cromwell emerge from Henry's chamber shaken and muttering about Wolsey's ghost—the culmination of Cromwell's refusal to share his burdens."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Rafe's role as loyal but increasingly ineffectual counselor is defined by this arc. His advice ignored in 204, he can only observe the psychological collapse in 205, reinforcing his position as a faithful witness to Cromwell's downfall.
