Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 14 establishes Sara's guilt and familial bond to Bret Vyon through Steven's confrontation with her. This emotional weight carries forward into Episode 21, where Sara's sacrifice is explicitly remembered by Steven in the context of the Taranium core's destruction. The unresolved grief from Episode 14 directly informs Steven's later emotional state.
