Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

From
Steven overhears assassination order
S3E23 · The Sea Beggar
To
Tavannes orders massacre and Navarre’s escape
S3E25 · Bell of Doom

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The revelation in Episode 23 that Catherine de' Medici (not Tavannes) is the true architect of the plot against the Sea Beggar is echoed in Episode 25 when she personally orders the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_526fc4322ed9d34e_02) shows Catherine's hidden hand in the plot, while Episode 25 (cand_evt_scene_3683cc8ec688b512_02) explicitly shows her giving the order for the massacre. This callback reinforces Catherine's central role in driving the Catholic conspiracy.
