Why Does Julia need Barnabas for the EXPERIMENT?

I don't get why B is so damned important to the Eve experiment .. why risk taking him outta Wyndcliffe?  Did Nicky really promise Julia that B would be okay. . i don't remember that from yesterday. . B has no medical expertise .. but maybe he's good at flipping switches but NO .. he just stands there as I recall?? Someone please explain .. .

Hi Julia,

It is implied in the earlier part of this story that Barnabas is the only one who can really handle Adam, emotionally at least.

At this point, though, Nicholas fancies himself in complete control of da big lug, so I have not a clue why Barnabas' presence is considered essential  at this stage of the game ... apart from the fact that in 1968 the ratings for individual episodes were supposed to be higher whenever he appeared!
