Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's initial motivation to find Dodo persists across both episodes, driving his actions in 'The O.K. Corral'. His alliance with Ringo in Ep36 leads to his capture and eventual evidence against Ringo in Ep37, showing a character arc of being manipulated then redeemed.
