Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wolsey's ghost, embodying Cromwell's self-doubt, uses the epithet 'butcher's dog' to question his loyalty; in episode 202, Cromwell's descent into self-doubt manifests as he recites his brutal actions and wrestles with whether his loyalty to Wolsey was actually betrayal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The ghost scene in episode 201 catalyses Cromwell's crisis, and episode 202 shows the same crisis unfolding internally after a traumatic accusation. This continuity deepens our understanding of Cromwell's fractured identity as both loyal servant and ruthless agent.
