Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s habit of delegating tasks and relying on Steven’s impetuous actions from the Toymaker’s game (Steven’s urgency to help) carries forward into Tombstone, where Steven again takes bold but risky steps to aid the Doctor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s tendency to trust (and be placed in danger by) Steven’s impulsive decisions is a trait established in the Toymaker’s game and continues in Tombstone, illustrating character continuity in Steven’s role as both ally and liability.
