Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's character trajectory evolves from being a quick-thinking astronaut (Episode 12) to a morally conflicted protector who insists on prioritizing human life even amidst chaos (Episode 13). His actions in both episodes reflect a consistent trait of vigilance and immediate response to external threats, but his reactions increasingly carry moral weight.
