Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry VIII's drunken assertion that 'what you are, I make you' in Episode 3 parallels his theatrical visit to Austin Friars in Episode 4, where he performs warmth and praises Cromwell's household, reinforcing the theme that royal favor is the source of all power and identity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes involve Henry explicitly defining Cromwell's worth, first in a private confession and later in a public display, and Rafe is present in both, witnessing the precarious nature of their standing.
