Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Norfolk's contemptuous invitation to Cromwell ('Come and see me') in 101 sets up their garden confrontation in 102, where Norfolk tries to recruit Cromwell by praising his loyalty to Wolsey."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thomas Wolsey's trajectory as a political figure who attracted enemies and loyal followers is the axis of this connection. Norfolk hated Wolsey, but respects Cromwell's loyalty to him. The open hostility in 101 ('mend your manners') evolves into calculated courtship in 102 ('a pity you don't work for me'). This shows how Wolsey's shadow still shapes court dynamics.
