Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Margaret Pole's trajectory moves from being a passive target of Cromwell's interrogation—where she is accused of disloyalty—to becoming a principal player in a faction seeking to depose Anne Boleyn and restore Catholic influence. This connection demonstrates her sustained opposition and growing political agency, directly continuing the threat Cromwell identified.
