Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara’s growing wariness of figures in authority (the Physician, Leon) in Episode 40 sets up her later interactions with the Doctor in Episode 41, where she is manipulated and her trust is tested. This creates a thematic continuity around Barbara’s distrust of authority figures.
