Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events establish the Kandyman's dual role as an enforcer of Helen A's regime and a grotesque fusion of artisan and executioner. The escalation from public spectacle (execution) to intimate display (lethal sweets) highlights the Kandyman's centrality to the regime's brutality across episodes.
