Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s mistaken identity as Yetaxa (E27) places authority over her body and role — Susan in E28 is subjected to a test of gender expectations, mirroring Barbara’s loss of autonomy through mistaken identity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both women face external systems defining their identities. Barbara’s autocratic role (as a High Priestess) is imposed by the Aztecs; Susan is tested by Autloc on a Victorian code that restricts women. Thematic parallel: both are judged by external cultural expectations they reject.
