Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Barbara's perceptive nature, demonstrated when she notices the acid dissolving her shoe in Episode 21, is paralleled in Episode 22 when she is the only one who sees through Morphoton's illusions. This consistent trait underscores her as the pragmatic counterbalance to the Doctor's optimism.
