Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wolsey's spectral appearance and warning that failure means death foreshadows the bloody purge of Anne Boleyn's faction. The ghost's lesson that a minister must succeed or perish becomes the template for Cromwell's actions in Episode 6."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Wolsey's ghost sets the stakes for the entire Episode 6 narrative: Cromwell must eliminate Anne and her circle to survive, or share Wolsey's fate. The foreshadowing gives dramatic weight to every interrogation and execution.
