Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 34, Barbara firmly rejects Ian's dangerous plan to impersonate the robot (source_event_uuid: cand_evt_scene_eeea504fd77158b0_01). In Episode 35, she persists in questioning Steven's risky rooftop escape (source_event_uuid: cand_evt_scene_da94a412559ff7ff_01), suggesting her initial cautiousness has evolved into active skepticism about high-stakes solutions.
