Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Susan's recurring headaches in Episode 39 (visible in cand_evt_scene_bd5ea2ca4650d6f2_02) escalate into a severe fever in Episode 40 (cand_evt_scene_60c0399817065b91_01), creating a direct character-driven continuity of her physical fragility. This thread unites her arc across episodes, emphasizing her reliance on Barbara's care as their peril increases.
