Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's emotional reaction to Katarina's death in Episode 13 sets up his later grief in Episode 21, where he is overwhelmed by the deaths of multiple companions (Bret, Sara, and indirectly Katarina). This continuity highlights the lasting psychological impact of Katarina's sacrifice on Steven's character.
