Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara’s protective urgency over Susan’s illness in Episode 40 (cand_evt_scene_60c0399817065b91_01) evolves into emotional vulnerability upon the Doctor’s return in Episode 41 (cand_evt_scene_77c07e05a6ad9c73_01). Her exhaustion from the ordeal is evident in her relief at seeing the Doctor."
