Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Little Bilney's trajectory from a reckless, zealous reformer warned by Cromwell to a defiant martyr whose fate confirms Cromwell's prophecy. The earlier episode sets up the danger of More's persecution, which materializes in the later episode when Bilney is seized by guards.
