Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 3, Cromwell's attempt at physical intimacy with Johane is shattered when he calls her 'Liz'; in Episode 4, as a scholar (More) departs through a door, the anachronistic sound of Liz's hair brushing intrudes—both events are liminal moments where the past disrupts the present."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes occur at thresholds—between lover and memory, between political eras—and use the memory of Liz to show how Cromwell's past continuously invades his engagements with the living world, reinforcing the theme that his grief is never truly processed.
