Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 38, Susan’s despair and physical collapse undermine Barbara’s escape plans. In Episode 39, Susan’s recurring headaches force her to retreat early, again making Barbara responsible for both survival and emotional stability. This ongoing dynamic reinforces Susan as a liability Barbara must protect.
