Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Abbot of Amboise's obsession with retrieving Anne (to prevent her from spreading the 'Vassy' plot) directly leads Tavannes to suspect the Abbot of disloyalty and order surveillance. This creates a causal chain where Duvall's actions in Episode 22 necessitate Tavannes' monitoring in Episode 23.
