Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces the theme of mortality and royal disfavor across episodes: Cromwell's grief over Jane's death (a loss tied to Henry's whims) prefigures his own fall when Henry turns against him. The emotional weight of the ghost scene directly prepares the audience for the finality of his arrest in Episode 6.
