Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven’s quick thinking and bold action to blind a Dalek guard and steal the pursuit ship (Ep. 15) demonstrates his ability to act decisively under pressure, a trait that resurfaces in Ep. 16 when he takes charge to rescue the Doctor from the police station."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s growth from a cautious companion in Strata (not shown here but inferred) to a decisive and action-oriented ally during the Dalek chase solidifies his role. His proactive problem-solving in the face of danger in Ep. 15 directly informs his leadership and risk-taking in Ep. 16, where he adopts a disguise and manipulates police perceptions to extricate the Doctor.
