Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Cromwell's theological coup in Episode 102 aimed to absolve Henry of guilt, yet the reappearance of Arthur's ghost as a reproachful dream reveals that Henry's psychological burden has not been lifted. This continuity shows that the king's guilt over usurping his brother's throne and marrying Katherine persists even after the annulment, affecting his present rule and his relationship with Jane Seymour.
