Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 106, Fitzwilliam walks alongside Cromwell and Norfolk, silently observing the power play over the warrant. In Episode 202, he stands beside Cromwell as Henry orders marriages, now more vocal—questioning trust in Wriothesley. This shows his evolution from silent witness to active advisor, while his loyalty to Cromwell remains constant across the Boleyn aftermath.
