Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Steven learns the exact plan (Sea Beggar to be killed the next day at the Louvre) in E23. This knowledge motivates Steven to act in E24, despite Anne's warnings, to prevent the assassination by reaching out to the Abbot (who he believes has the Doctor's knowledge).
