Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"More's methodical purge of heretical texts in Episode 2 is a manifestation of his rigid orthodoxy, which directly carries over into his refusal to support Henry's divorce and his secret communication with Tyndale, as revealed in the smuggled letter."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
More's actions in Episode 2 establish him as an ideological crusader. The letter in Episode 3 confirms that his principles extend beyond book-burning to active political opposition against the king. This continuity deepens the characterization of More as a man whose faith overrides all worldly loyalties, setting the stage for his eventual martyrdom.
