Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara's repeated separation from her companions due to the brutal actions of authority figures (the Jailer in Episode 38, LeMaitre in Episode 40) drives her character arc of isolation and resilience. This continuity underscores her role as a reformer who is consistently silenced and imprisoned.
