S3E7 · Small Prophet, Quick Return

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Odysseus explicitly praises Steven's courage and resourcefulness in Episode 6 ('Really, that's very courageous of you'). This acknowledgment sets up Steven's volunteering in Episode 7, where he uses his skills and confidence to propose a risky mission.

About Causal Connections
