Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's misjudgment in killing Sandy while 'protecting' Vicki mirrors the companions' missteps in Rome: their anachronistic slip ('Londinium') exposes their outsider status, leading to their capture—both moments stem from flawed perceptions under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara's vigilantism (fatal but well-intentioned) parallels the group's vulnerability in the Roman market due to their ignorance. Both events stem from the companions acting on incomplete information: Barbara misreads the Didonian threat, while she and Vicki reveal their outsider status through anachronistic language. The narrative underscores the cost of misplaced action.
