How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 2, the Abbess at Shaftesbury notes Riche's presence and suspects he is there to assess the abbey for dissolution, marking him as a tool of Cromwell's dismantling. In Episode 3, Riche stands beside Cromwell to observe the Spanish envoy Mendoza's arrival, extending his role from internal dissolution to external diplomatic threats."
