Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Rafe's strategic advice about Wolsey ('Perhaps something is to be got by sticking fast') in Episode 2 is echoed in his warning about Anne Boleyn ('Do you really want to tie us even more tightly to her?') in Episode 3, showing his consistent role as a cautious strategist."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 2, Rafe suggests that loyalty to the fallen Wolsey might still yield political profit. In Episode 3, he applies the same calculus to the Boleyns, warning against over-commitment to a risky alliance. This character continuity shows Rafe's evolution from a junior observer to a confident advisor who is willing to challenge Cromwell's strategic decisions. His advice in both cases is grounded in the same principle: assess the risks before committing to a faction.
