Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s function as a manipulated figure in Episode 35 (forced to deliver a gun and implicated in the Clantons’ plans) mirrors his role as a vulnerable pawn in Episode 36, where he is manipulated by Ringo into a false alliance. Steven’s character journey is consistent across episodes.
