Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 106, Wriothesley's reminder of the play where George Boleyn played a devil dragging Wolsey to Hell gives Cromwell the idea to use symbolic damnation against his enemies. In Episode 201, Wolsey's ghost praises Cromwell for wreaking 'terrible vengeance on my enemies'—including Anne and George. The play imagery became a blueprint for Cromwell's revenge."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain links Wriothesley's tactical suggestion to Cromwell's actual execution of revenge. The play's symbolic damnation of Wolsey is reversed: Cromwell, once Wolsey's servant, now damns Wolsey's enemies. This shows how political imagery can become lethal policy.

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
