The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord the fake key, which destroyed the Consciousness, along with the Voord. They were able to leave in the TARDIS once more. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Keys of Marinus (TV story)|The Keys of Marinus]]'')

Barbara's strong beliefs and acceptance of truth made her a formidable character. If she believed in something, she stood up for it. When the travellers arrived in [[Mexico]] during the time of [[Aztec]]s, her interest in history allowed her to see the good and the evil in the Aztec society and her belief they could be a truly good people made her determined to change the course of history when the [[Conquistador]]s arrived. She wished to preserve all that was good and honourable from their society, whilst driving out the horrors and ignorance of human sacrifice. Even though the Doctor stated this as an impossibility, she still endeavoured to try, angering the Doctor. Barbara was disappointed to learn that history could not be changed, but she had the strength of character to live with this. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Aztecs]]'')
 
The Doctor and his companions arrived in an [[Aztec]] temple in [[Mexico]]. They went through a one-way passage that prevented access to the TARDIS. Barbara posed as the Aztec [[god]] [[Yetaxa]], with the others as her servants to find a way back. Barbara tried and failed to change the Aztec's history of human sacrifice for the better, which the Doctor strongly advised her against.
 
Susan was to be punished for denying marriage to the [[Perfect Victim]] and Ian to be executed when he was framed by the [[High Priest of Sacrifice]] [[Tlotoxl]] for attacking the [[High Priest of Knowledge]] [[Autloc]]. Autloc's faith in Yetaxa was shattered, and he left for the wilderness. The Doctor, Ian and the Doctor's accidental fiancée [[Cameca]] distracted Ian and Susan's [[Aztec Captain|guard]] to escape. Ian prevented Tlotoxl's murder of Barbara and fought off the warrior [[Ixta]]. They worked on a pulley system to open the doorway back to the TARDIS. As they departed, the sacrifice of the [[Perfect Victim]] continued as planned. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Aztecs (TV story)|The Aztecs]]'')


Passionate about history, Barbara could see both sides to a story. When the travellers arrived in revolutionary France, she befriended [[Léon Colbert]]. When he died, she was distraught and defended his treachery. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Reign of Terror]]'')
