Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara’s role as a caretaker in Episode 5 (ensuring Susan’s injury is managed) contrasts with her moral ambiguity in Episode 6, where she prioritizes the mission over personal bonds. This demonstrates a continuity in her evolving sense of responsibility and agency.
