Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"At Gregory's wedding in Episode 3, Richard is present as a silent observer among the family and friends. In Episode 4, he is the one Cromwell calls to his sickbed, commanding 'Go yourself. Ride to him.'—shifting from passive witness to active executor of Cromwell's most urgent will."
