Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Wolsey's spectral presence is first established as a psychological weapon by Barton in Episode 4, then materializes as a tangible ghost delivering a strategic warning in Episode 5. This progression transforms Wolsey from a taunting memory into a direct adviser, deepening Cromwell's internal struggle and the legacy of Wolsey's fall.
