Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara's horror upon learning about the Robomen's fates in Episode 5 (her realization that 'everything they touch turns into a horrible sort of nightmare') foreshadows her defiant actions during the retreat in Episode 6. Her refusal to retreat and insistence on helping Tyler rescue others echoes her earlier refusal to accept the Daleks' dehumanizing tactics.
