Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's intervention to protect Wolsey from the Tower solidifies his identity as a loyal servant; this same loyalty fuels his later resentment toward Anne, which she weaponizes against him on the barge."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cromwell's defining trait — fierce loyalty to those who trusted him — is forged in Wolsey's fall. When Anne accuses him of never forgiving her for Wolsey, she is tapping into the very moral core that drove him to defy Norfolk in Episode 1. This continuity explains why Anne's barb cuts so deep.
