Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks' execution of Kennedy (Episode 38) establishes their pattern of ruthless, immediate violence, which later informs their use of Kemel as a disposable human enforcer (Episode 39). The same unit's cold efficiency in silencing perceived threats creates a domino effect of human collaboration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Kennedy's murder is the first concrete act of the Dalek Strategic Command's brutal enforcement hierarchy. This sets the tone for their later manipulation of Maxtible and others, where human life is treated as expendable. Kemel's recruitment as an 'enforcer' is a direct evolution of this pattern: the Daleks don't need direct execution when they can engineer indirect human instruments.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
