Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This emotional echo underscores Vicki's vulnerability and her reliance on Barbara as a stabilizing figure, contrasting with her earlier confrontation with the Doctor. It reinforces her position as a younger companion whose trust in the Doctor is tested, and who requires protective figures (like Barbara) in moments of crisis.
