The narrative assertion
"Jane Rochford's insinuation about Jane Seymour's hidden virtues and possible pregnancy in Episode 4 directly enables Cromwell's interrogation of Rochford about Jane's pregnancy in Episode 5."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jane Rochford first plants the seed of Jane Seymour as a rival to Anne in Cromwell's mind. This direct setup pays off when Cromwell, now actively investigating the Seymour pregnancy, returns to Rochford as his informant—the same woman who first suggested Jane's ambition.
