Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's defiance against the Toymaker’s authority in Episode 31 (questioning the validity of the Doctor’s warning and the Toymaker’s rules) directly leads to his dismissal of the authoritative dolls (Rugg and Wiggs) as 'mere distractions' in Episode 32."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's growing distrust of the Toymaker's machinations and illusions is a consistent throughline, manifesting here in his refusal to engage with or fear the sentient dolls despite their physical presence.
