Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jane's death directly causes Henry to seek a new wife, leading to his marriage to Anne of Cleves. In episode 5, Henry's public critique of Anne's appearance and his nostalgic comparison to 'Jane, so white and clear, a pearl' stems from the trauma and regret over Jane's death."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jane's death in episode 204 is the catalyst for the entire marriage to Anne of Cleves. Henry's dissatisfaction with Anne is explicitly measured against Jane's memory, linking the two episodes causally. This connection traces how Jane's death reshapes Henry's expectations and fuels the political crisis in episode 5.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
