Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Des Preaux's earlier act of protecting Barbara by claiming she is Princess Joanna foreshadows his later concern for her safety in Episode 23 when he searches for her in Saladin's court, creating a narrative callback to his chivalric nature.
