How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Jules’ manipulation of Ian’s fears about Barbara and Susan in Episode 40 (cand_evt_scene_bc988d53bee61ed3_02) contrasts with the Doctor’s manipulation of Barbara’s guilt to regain control in Episode 41 (cand_evt_scene_442e05c1d7a57e90_01). Both serve as examples of authority figures controlling Barbara."
