Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This builds Steven’s recurring role as the pragmatist and protector. In 'The O.K. Corral,' he tries to warn about Steven’s safety and negotiate peace. In 'The Savages,' he seeks the Doctor, calling out his recklessness. The Doctor’s dismissiveness in both cases shows a pattern of enabling danger through inattention.
