Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Barbara's assertion of divine authority (as Yetaxa) forces Tlotoxl to adapt his strategy. This continuity shows how power dynamics shift: Barbara's defiance in Episode 29 leads directly to the Doctor's group being targeted in Episode 30, with Susan as the new bargaining chip.
