How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection reinforces Steven's role as the outsider with key knowledge, whose instincts are eventually proven correct. It also frames his confidence in the Doctor as both a strength and a liability (as seen in his delayed warning).
