Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's ability to sway Paris with exaggerated praise (calling him the 'Lion of Troy') demonstrates a pattern of exploiting Paris's vanity. While Episode 8 shows Paris interacting more with Cassandra and Priam, this earlier dynamic hints at Steven's potential to influence Paris again.
