Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The emotional fallout from the flare gun incident in Episode 11 directly fuels Barbara’s despair in Episode 12. Her focus on the Doctor’s return (rather than escape) reflects her unresolved guilt and deepens her isolation within the group.
