Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Steven’s proactive stance in Episode 1 ('What are we going to do about it?') foreshadows his willingness to act unilaterally in Episode 6, where he abandons the Doctor’s orders. This continuity highlights Steven’s growing confidence (or recklessness) and his conflict with the Doctor’s cautious approach.
