Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In both episodes, Riche is part of intimate inner-circle discussions where morally ambiguous strategies are debated: in Episode 106, he shares in dark humor about coercing a confession; in Episode 201, he warns that Cromwell's vow should be kept in the shadows, showing his comfort with operating in ethical grey zones."
