Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's bravery and tactical resourcefulness in creating a diversion in 'The Savages' (Ep41) directly informs his implied presence in 'The War Machines' (Ep45), where he continues to support the Doctor's efforts under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's role as the Doctor's pragmatic companion, demonstrated in Ep41 through his quick thinking and self-sacrifice, establishes his competence as a companion. This continuity suggests he remains a reliable ally in future episodes, even if not directly shown in Ep45 events.
