Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Katarina's first act of trust-building with Steven in Episode 9 (by rescuing him in Cressida’s name) evolves into her protective role in Episode 10 when she assists the Doctor in treating Steven’s blood poisoning. This connection shows a deepening bond between Katarina and Steven, with immediate stakes tied to survival.
