Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's initial urgency to ensure Bret's safety (in Episode 14) evolves into his trust in high-risk plans like feigning surrender to the Daleks (Episode 15). This reflects Steven’s growing reliance on the Doctor’s leadership and his own adaptability under extreme pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s impatience with Bret’s rescue in Episode 14 foreshadows his willingness to take drastic, impulsive actions in Episode 15. His transition from valuing physical presence (Bret) to trusting the Doctor's abstract plans demonstrates his character growth as a companion who balances impulsiveness with loyalty and adaptability.
