Additional context

Also, when one presses the Show Me button, the plot appears in the expected way, but it in the code-cell one for the plot can remove the colors option, run the cell, and still the plot shows up with legend and colors.

Take a closer look at the second paragraph in the step description:

First, change the z: "city" assignment in the Plot.lineY call to stroke: "city". This assigns different colors to the two cities.

Ah, sorry.
