Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Norfolk's visit to the recovering Cromwell in Episode 4 (bringing the Pope-blessed medal 'probably cursed') establishes their uneasy alliance, which Cromwell then leverages in Episode 5 by visiting Katherine—Norfolk's Boleyn hatred and Cromwell's pragmatism begin to converge against the queen."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Norfolk's 'concern' for Cromwell's health is a political probe. Cromwell, even in his feverish state, registers Norfolk as a potential ally against Anne. His subsequent move to visit Katherine (and later to side against the Boleyns) originates from this Episode 4 connection.
