Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Katherine's mention of Anne's lost child and her pity reinforces the absence of a male heir, which directly feeds Henry's obsession with Jane Seymour as a potential new queen who can give him a son. Additionally, Cromwell's role in denying Katherine's request to see Mary mirrors his later advice to keep Jane away for safety, showing his consistent control over who sees the king."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This links the failure of Anne's pregnancy (highlighted by Katherine) to Henry's immediate pivot to Jane, showing how the Boleyns' inability to produce an heir empowers Cromwell and others to seek a replacement.
