Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This reflects Barbara's transformation from someone rebuked for intervention to someone wielding power. The Doctor's initial instruction to 'hold Tlotoxl off' becomes Barbara's literal and symbolic action to publicly humiliate Tlotoxl by turning his own poison plot against him, showing sustained character growth across episodes.
