Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's belief that the Daleks are not present in the city (overlooking them) leads directly to him believing he can outmaneuver them in Episode 21 — first by confronting Chen and later by helping the Doctor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven’s pattern of underestimating the Daleks’ omnipresence in Episode 20 sets up his overconfidence in Episode 21, where he initially believes the Doctor’s plan will work. This continuity shows his loyalty driving him despite warnings.
