Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry's fury at Margaret Pole's secret marriage and his demand for 'no repeat of what happened to the Queen as was' directly causes the cautious restoration of Princess Mary to court, as seen at the feast, where Mary sits at Jane's right hand."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Margaret Pole scandal triggers Henry's obsessive fear of dynastic and diplomatic scandal, making him more receptive to Jane's plea for Mary's return (as seen in the interceding events). Mary's presence at the feast is the direct result of this chain—a cross-episode causal narrative about managing royal women's defiance.
