Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Norfolk's visit in episode 4 represents the old Catholic faction's attempt to gauge Cromwell. By episode 5, Cromwell is actively involved in the Seymour gambit that will topple Anne Boleyn and, by extension, undermine Norfolk's power. This connection shows Cromwell's strategic pivot from survival to offensive maneuvering.
