Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The event in Episode 4 establishes Steven as someone who has been physically and emotionally weakened by captivity, which drives his later urgency to save the Doctor at all costs in Episode 6. This continuity underscores Steven's resilience and sense of duty as a companion.
