Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dodo's defiant spirit during the hostage situation (Episode 34) foreshadows her later role as an observer of Steven's suffering (Episode 35), while Steven's victimization becomes a recurring motif tied to the Clantons' brutality.
