Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s guilt and protectiveness from abandoning Ian in Episode 8 informs her urgency and moral stance when she pressures Ganatus and Alydon in Episode 9. Her emotional investment in Ian’s safety makes her more assertive and confrontational with the Thals."
