Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's theological coup—recasting Henry as the king who must secure the realm—enables the entire chain of events leading to Anne's coronation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cromwell's reinterpretation of Arthur's ghost as a divine mandate for Henry to 'hold the country' and 'make it secure in every generation' directly enables the break from Rome, Henry's marriage to Anne, and ultimately her coronation. The coronation in Ep 3 is the culminating public manifestation of the argument Cromwell planted in the king's mind in Ep 2.

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.
