Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 19, Steven blocks Sara's attempt to warn the Doctor, arguing that it would backfire. In Episode 20, he again mediates between Sara's frustration with the Doctor's 'defeatism' and his own belief in the Doctor's methods. This parallel reinforces Steven's role as a stabilizing force amid the Doctor's unpredictability and Sara's directness.
