Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven’s instinct to reassure and protect his companion (started with Anne in Episode 24) is echoed in his impatience with Dodo’s fear in Episode 26."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In both episodes, Steven assumes a protective role toward a companion placed in danger—first Anne (Episode 24), then Dodo (Episode 26). While his tone with Anne was reassuring and strategic, with Dodo it becomes sharp and exasperated, suggesting his protective instinct is consistent but expressed differently based on the companion’s perceived maturity or capability.
