Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s experimentation with G-force, despite the Doctor’s dismissal, demonstrates his increasing trust in his own judgment and technical skills. This growth is mirrored in Episode 16 where Steven challenges the Doctor’s authority by asserting control over the situation with the police, both confronting and protecting the Doctor.
