Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 3, Cromwell calls out into the empty room for Wolsey ('Master?'), suggesting unresolved grief and guilt. In Episode 4, this mental torment escalates into a visceral fever-dream where he relives Wolsey's death and whispers 'No... no, you didn’t. I did.' — a direct payoff of the earlier foreshadowing.
