Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
John More is present at Wolf Hall as Henry VIII arrives, witnessing the king's vulnerability and the Seymours' formal reception. In Episode 5, the Seymour brothers and Sir John explicitly discuss using Jane as a pawn for Henry's attention while Anne Boleyn is pregnant. John More's absence from the later debate, yet his family's centrality to it, shows the continuity of the Seymour household's ambition from hosting the king to actively plotting their rise, linking the hospitality of Episode 4 to the strategic scheming of Episode 5.
