Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Her aggressive choice to ram the barricade ('I'm going through. Yeah, it wasn't bad, was it. I rather enjoyed that.') foreshadows her audacious gamble in the mine ('We're beaten, Barbara. We'll never get out of here. Never. BARBARA: Don't be silly, Jenny...'). Both moments reflect a moral pragmatism that escalates under pressure.
