Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's rules for Jane's conduct (pray out loud, no clothing removed) in Episode 5 directly lead to his test of her malleability in Episode 6, where he assesses whether she can follow such strategic direction under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The rules Cromwell establishes in Episode 5 are the framework he tests in Episode 6. His gentle interrogation about her virginity and past attachments is a direct follow-up to ensure she can execute the 'virtuous maiden' performance he scripted.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
