Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's early plea in Episode 21—'Don't you understand? By bringing us down here, you're doing exactly what the Daleks want'—foreshadows the Doctor's similar misreading of historical context in Episode 22, where his enthusiasm leads him to land in a volatile religious conflict he doesn't fully grasp."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both Steven and the Doctor, in different contexts, warn of danger while the Doctor dismisses it. This sets up a recurring dynamic where the Doctor's confidence in his knowledge outstrips the reality of the dangers present—be it Daleks or religious factions.
