"Steven’s impulsive intervention on the film set (Episode 16) foreshadows his growing role as the pragmatic, quick-thinking companion who challenges the Doctor’s plans when they prove ineffective."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s mistake and his frustration with the Doctor’s evasive tactics in Episode 16 set up his continued role as the voice of urgency and realism in Episode 17. His insistence on immediate action ('When are we going to land?') mirrors his proactive behavior in Episode 16, where he took charge to rescue the Doctor.
