Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Norris's lie about 'figurative recompense' at Putney is directly followed by Wolsey's final instruction to Cromwell: 'Find a way into her confidence. Work a device to please her.' The court's betrayal (figurative promises) forces Wolsey to abandon hope of royal favor and instead task Cromwell with serving Anne Boleyn—a strategic shift that defines Cromwell's entire course in Episode 102."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is the narrative hinge of the entire series: the Putney scene kills Wolsey's political hope, and the Esher farewell births Cromwell's new mission. The Wolsey's Household Staff are the carriers of this transition—they physically move the chests that contain both Wolsey's past and the tools for Cromwell's future.
