Why This Matters Across Episodes

In both events, Barbara acts to prevent harm: first by preventing the Doctor from learning about Susan’s kidnapping, then by physically preventing a human sacrifice. Her instincts align—she cannot bear the thought of loss or sacrifice, whether personal or witnessed.
