Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mary Boleyn's secret marriage and pregnancy, revealed in Episode 104, leads to her being ostracized from court. In Episode 201, she physically isolates herself by slamming the door on Lady Shelton, a direct consequence of her earlier defiance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mary's trajectory from scandal to self-imposed exile is a direct result of her actions in Episode 104. The marriage and pregnancy cause Anne to disown her, and by Episode 201, Mary has internalized that rejection, now actively rejecting the court's attempts to engage her, completing a causal arc of defiance leading to isolation.
