Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 4, Anne warns Cromwell he is 'under our eye,' asserting control. In Episode 5, Henry tells Cromwell 'you must free me from Anne,' overriding her authority. This trajectory shows Cromwell's allegiance moving decisively from Anne to Henry, directly leading to Anne's eventual downfall.
