Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s despair and focus on the Doctor in Episode 12 (believing he and Vicki will wait for them) evolves into a more urgent, survival-driven mentality in Episode 13, where she tends to a dying cellmate despite her own captivity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara’s internal conflict—her loyalty to the Doctor versus her own survival—shifts from passive hope (trusting the Doctor will return) to active care for others in dire circumstances. This shows her adapting to the horrors of Rome.
