Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven’s dismissal by the Doctor in Episode 6 (Temple of Secrets) foreshadows his impulsive, independent actions in Episode 15 (Coronas of the Sun). The Doctor’s dismissive attitude toward Steven’s concerns ('you stay here' and 'your present humour is not fitting') sets up Steven’s pattern of acting against the Doctor’s guidance when he believes the Doctor is wrong."

The longer arc this connection carries
This connection underscores Steven’s recurring frustration with the Doctor’s leadership and his tendency to override the Doctor’s orders when he perceives a critical threat. It directly links the two episodes’ depiction of Steven’s character arc of defiance and self-reliance.
