Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 104, Riche complains that they are 'too soft' with Elizabeth Barton, revealing his impatience with restraint. In Episode 106, he is again the most eager for aggressive action, proposing 'specimen charges' before Cromwell has fully committed to a strategy—demonstrating that his instinct is always to escalate coercion."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Riche's advocacy for harsher methods remains a constant across cases, from a visionary nun to the queen herself. This highlights his role as Cromwell's more ruthless second, and how the same drive that pushed against Barton now fuels the Anne prosecution.
