Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s insistence on protecting Susan in Episode 33 mirrors her later emotional absence in Episode 35, where Carol (as a maternal surrogate) cares for John. Barbara’s focus on Susan’s growth in Episode 33 sets up her later unspoken concern for the group’s younger members."
