Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Bainham's exposure to Bilney's Tyndale-inspired preaching in Episode 1 directly leads to his own heretical act in Episode 3—interrupting the Latin Mass to recite John 1:1-4 in English. The seeds of defiance planted in the Gray's Inn gathering bloom into Bainham's public protest."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Bilney's sermon about Tyndale's gospel and the uselessness of masses directly inspires Bainham's later action. The same doctrine that Bilney declared ('masses, fasting, vigils... all useless') causes Bainham to disrupt the very mass, showing causal continuity in the spread of reformist ideas.
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.
