Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
George Boleyn's trajectory: The incest rumor that appears as dismissible gossip from a boatman in Episode 3 becomes a formalized accusation in Episode 4 through Jane Rochford's calculated insinuations. This escalation shows the weaponization of the same rumor across episodes.
