Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara's role as a nurturing and protective figure for Susan in Episode 32 (e.g., suggesting a telepathic strategy to defend themselves) continues in Episode 33, where she reassures Susan and mitigates the Doctor's anger. This shows Barbara's consistent role as a mediator and emotional anchor for the group.
