Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Muss’s initial assistance to Steven in Episode 22 (helping him with currency and directions) contrasts with his later caution and suspicion in Episode 23, where he is wary of Steven’s motives and identity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Muss’s willingness to help a stranger in Episode 22 evolves into deep suspicion driven by external pressures (e.g., Tavannes’ orders) and Steven’s increasingly implausible claims about the Doctor. This mirrors Steven’s trajectory as he grapples with trust.
