The narrative assertion

"Barbara's willingness to confront toxic environments to help others (Episode 29) parallels her and the companions' use of the Time and Space Visualiser to gain knowledge and understanding (Episode 30). Both scenes highlight Barbara's engagement with different forms of 'inquiry' as a means of overcoming obstacles."
