Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's earlier skepticism of the Toymaker's minions serves as a narrative setup for the escalation where those same minions (Rugg and Wiggs) physically control him, showing the consequences of underestimating the Toymaker's power.
