Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 2, Dr. Cranmer tells Cromwell that Wolsey is at Southwell and crowds have come to see him—news that Anne's faction views as dangerous. In Episode 3, Cromwell makes Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury explicitly to further Anne's marriage and pass anti-papal laws. Cranmer's loyalty, established in E2 as coming from the reformist camp, is rewarded in E3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cromwell's investment in Cranmer begins with their shared knowledge of Wolsey's movements in E2 and culminates in Cranmer's elevation in E3. Cranmer is the tool Cromwell uses to complete the break from Rome.

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
