Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The direct mention of Jane Seymour by Chapuys, combined with the warning that Anne is 'desperate and dangerous,' sets up the narrative payoff in Episode 6. The token is the first concrete step in Jane's elevation, exactly as foreshadowed.
