"One Step Forward" is the 32nd chapter of Junior Officers.
Barnacles and Deborah bond in the library.
One Trope Forward:
- Like a Daughter to Me: Barnacles views Deborah as a daughter figure.
- Parental Substitute: Deborah views Barnacles as a father figure.
- T-Word Euphemism: Deborah says her father called her the "W word"note over something she was wearing.
- You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Like in "Even the Best Fall Down Sometimes", Barnacles is referred to without his title.
