Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The death of Sandy in Episode 11 leaves Vicki emotionally raw and distrustful of Barbara. By Episode 12, Vicki's impatience and restless energy (seen in 'Vicki's Impatience and the Lurking Threat') reflect her unresolved trauma and her need to escape her current environment and companions. This carries forward her emotional state from the previous episode.
