Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Ep. 34, Barbara is manipulated by Robo-Doc due to her trust and emotional state. In Ep. 35, her defiance ('Oh, go away! Leave us alone, can't you?') reflects her growing frustration and stress, suggesting that her experiences in Ep. 34 have left her more emotionally raw and reactive.
