Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s distrust of the TARDIS and the Doctor in Episode 36 sets up his role as a skeptic who must be convinced of the Doctor’s credibility. His quick deduction in Episode 37—realizing the Monk’s lie about the Doctor—shows his evolution from skeptic to ally.
