Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Anne Boleyn's paranoid demand to reduce Princess Mary to a servant and her aggressive assertion of power alienate key courtiers and expose her vulnerability. This emboldens the Seymour family to see Jane's chance to replace the queen, as they calculate that Anne's position is now weak enough to challenge."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cromwell witnesses Anne's reckless behavior and understands it makes her a liability. This reinforces his strategic decision to align with the Seymours, as he recognizes that Anne's paranoia will eventually lead to her downfall and he must position himself accordingly.

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.
