Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection shows the continuity of Carew's role as a conservative noble. In Episode 5, Carew approached Cromwell as a supplicant, needing his power; in Episode 6, Carew stands among the Poles, openly contemptuous, reflecting his failed gambit and Cromwell's ascendancy. Carew's trajectory from conspirator to impotent critic tracks the shift in power dynamics.
