Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry's emotional withdrawal and refusal to discuss Wolsey in Episode 2 foreshadows his treatment of Katherine in Episode 3. Cromwell, having witnessed Henry's pattern of discarding those he once loved, now executes the same separation against Katherine. He has learned that the king's grief is not to be challenged but exploited."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Cromwell learning from Henry's emotional patterns. In Episode 2, he sees Henry's vulnerability about Wolsey and understands that the king cannot bear reminders of discarded favorites. In Episode 3, he uses this knowledge to deliver the separation decree to Katherine, knowing Henry will not want to hear her pleas.
