Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's private grief and self-reproach over his perceived betrayal of Cardinal Wolsey directly colors his reaction to the Abbess's challenge, which echoes his own guilt."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cromwell's internal turmoil over Wolsey's death, expressed in his study, is not resolved by Episode 3. When the Abbess (Dorothea) confronts him, her words tap into the same guilt, making the confrontation emotionally charged and showing how his past continues to haunt him.
