Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Barbara’s urgent but unheeded warning in Episode 16 (cand_evt_scene_2ce39875e7f3d17f_01) leads to her independent action in Episode 17, where she pursues Tegana alone. This continuity highlights her proactive role as a companion.
