Boleyn briefly meets with Henry before his summit with King Francis , briefing him on the French King and playing chess with him; knowing of Henry's massive ego, Boleyn deliberately loses the game and portrays Francis as inferior to Henry in almost every way.
On returning to France near the end of the first episode, Boleyn summons his daughters Mary and Anne. He informs them they will have the opportunity to meet the King while they are in France and ingratiate themselves; he also informs them, without the slightest hint of subtlety, that they are to use the King's potential attraction to them to help elevate the Boleyn family in the royal court.
This ruthless use of his children as pawns is characteristic of Boleyn throughout the first and second seasons. When Mary the elder and more sexually active of the two fails to keep Henry's interest after a short period of time, Boleyn presses Anne into service at the end of episode 1. Henry is immediately intrigued on meeting Anne for the second time in 1. In response, Boleyn arranges for Anne to be brought to court as a lady-in-waiting to the Queen.
However, Anne refuses to engage in a sexual relationship with the King; her father is angered, then pleased when he discovers her defiance makes Henry pursue her even harder. Boleyn continues to egg his daughter on mechanically, reading the love letters Henry sends her; he is at first unaware that Anne is falling in love with the King as well, and sharply reminds her that she is to use Henry's attraction to her to advance their family and discredit Wolsey.

They are also aided by Boleyn's associate Thomas Cromwell , a cunning lawyer recently appointed as the King's secretary.
Boleyn now instructs Anne to discredit Wolsey to Henry, since his and Norfolk's direct investigation into Wolsey's affairs anger the king. Boleyn also expresses his contempt for the Papacy and the Apostles in later episodes of Season 1 to Ambassador Chapuys , though it is unclear if he truly supports the Protestant Reformation as Anne and Cromwell certainly do or if he is just sucking up for the King.
By the end of the season, Boleyn's coalition has successfully destroyed Cardinal Wolsey and assumed a powerful position closest to King Henry himself; he escapes the anger Henry directs at Norfolk and Suffolk for their poor management because he is on a diplomatic mission with Cromwell. However, his hopes for further power are still riding on Anne, who is now Henry's mistress and soon-to-be-betrothed.
Thomas Boleyn center observes Mr. Roose's execution with his son George right and Thomas Cromwell left.

It is difficult to imagine how Sir Thomas, Anne's father, managed to continue his role at the royal court both during his daughter's trial and after her execution. Did he become emotionally dislocated in order to protect the rest of his family or was he perhaps convinced that Anne would be spared the executioner's axe?
Sadly there are no written records that have survived to contribute to a clearer understanding. But the fact that Sir Thomas' much loved and only son was accused of incest could only have served to increase the degree of shame and trauma visited upon the Boleyn family. It is baffling to think that Anne's father could continue working in such close proximity to his children's slayer.
