Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara’s explanation of how the Doctor orchestrated her escape (via fake imprisonment and manipulation of the jailer) reveals her comprehension of deception as a survival tool. This enables her to adopt a deceptive identity (waitress) and probe Barrass for information in Ep42, marking a key shift from passive victim to active investigator.
