Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 2, Henry is seated apart from revelers, nursing his leg, establishing his chronic pain. In Episode 3, Henry stands rigidly for Holbein's portrait, pale and puffy-faced, visibly suffering—the same physical frailty is consistent across episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Henry's physical deterioration from Ep2 to Ep3 foreshadows his growing instability and vulnerability, which impacts his political decisions and his dependence on Cromwell—a trajectory Fitzwilliam and the court observe.
