Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's refusal to abandon the Doctor in Episode 19 (despite being captured) reflects his loyalty and determination. In Episode 20, this same trait drives him to insist on finding the Doctor first in the jungle and later in the empty Dalek city. His character arc focuses on his unwavering commitment to the Doctor.
