Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both scenes depict Henry's body and emotions as public spectacle. In Episode 6, his rage is a theatrical display of power; in Episode 1, his physical frailty from the jousting accident is a public vulnerability. Together they show the king's body as a site of political theater.
