The narrative assertion

"Steven's realization that the Doctor is the target of assassination in Episode 23 eerily resonates with his later accusation that the Doctor's inaction led to Anne's death in Episode 25."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both moments highlight Steven's growing disillusionment with the Doctor's detachment: first in fearing the Doctor's death, then in blaming him for Anne's death. The emotional echo underscores Steven's fractured trust in the Doctor's moral compass.
