Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 203, Cromwell humiliates Norfolk and reassigns his command to Suffolk to weaken him. In Episode 204, Norfolk is still central in the council, pressuring Cromwell alongside Seymour, showing that the conflict between Cromwell and Norfolk has escalated rather than resolved."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Suffolk is the nominal beneficiary of Cromwell's move, yet Norfolk's continued influence in Episode 204 demonstrates that the earlier attempt to sideline him was insufficient. This escalation underscores the persistent threat Norfolk poses and Suffolk's inability to fill that power vacuum.
