Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 101, Cromwell leaves his sick wife Liz to attend to court business, showing the tension between duty and family. In Episode 102, after a tense conversation with Johane about Gregory, Cromwell sits alone with his dogs, reflecting on the emotional cost of his choices."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes depict Cromwell's isolation and his habit of prioritizing political survival over domestic presence. Gregory, as the surviving child, inherits the emotional fallout of this pattern—his father is often absent or mentally elsewhere, building a wall between them that the 102 events lay bare.
