Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The urgency of Barbara’s poisoning in Episode 3 (e.g., her exhaustion) escalates into the immediate danger of temporal displacement and physical threat in Episode 4. Her integration into the resistance’s Underground hideout and later role in Tyler’s urgency reflects the increased stakes and her active participation in the unfolding crisis.
