Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's growing initiative and curiosity (shown when she asks about the walled-up section) carries into Episode 32 where she reacts to the Time Path Detector's revelation with skepticism, showing her increasing role as the 'questioner' who challenges the Doctor's plans."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Barbara's evolution from a concerned companion in Episode 31 (worrying about Ian and Vicki, questioning plans) to a more assertive and questioning presence in Episode 32 (challenging the Doctor’s evasive tactics, pressing for answers) forms a clear character trajectory bridging both episodes.
