Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In the tomb scene, the Doctor consoles Barbara by arguing that her interference helped Autloc find a 'better' faith. In Episode 38, the Jailer's revelation that Ian was spared (likely due to his perceived utility) while Barbara and Susan face execution underscores the randomness and cruelty of these societies, contrasting with Barbara's attempt to find meaning in her actions.
