Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 31, Steven tests the chairs with reckless defiance, throwing a doll onto Chair #1 despite the danger (cand_evt_scene_0482eb9f0f2f9a9a_01). In Episode 32, he ignores Dodo's warnings and steps onto the deadly Dancing Floor, driven by his desperation to reach the TARDIS (cand_evt_scene_b29efb53b13b21eb_02), showing a consistent pattern of recklessness in the face of traps.
