Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In S1E2, Mary Boleyn complains she 'need[s] a husband' to stop people calling her names. In S1E3, she tries to seduce Cromwell and is rejected, then is revealed to have married William Stafford in secret—a direct fulfillment of her earlier stated desperation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mary's stated need for a husband in S1E2 is the narrative seed that flowers into her secret marriage to Stafford in S1E3. Her trajectory from desperate plea to defiant (but hidden) marriage is a clear character arc.
