Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 2, Anne's paranoia revolves around a drawing of her beheaded, a symbolic threat. By Episode 3, Katherine is actively fighting the annulment in person with the king's decree, a concrete legal threat. The conflict escalates from symbolic image to real political battle in the audience chamber."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The power struggle between the two queens moves from rumor and propaganda (the drawing) to direct confrontation with king's authority. Cromwell is at the center of both: investigating the drawing in E2, delivering the decree in E3.
