Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Kandyman's role as an instrument of oppression (public executions) evolves into his own vulnerability being exploited by the Doctor, reflecting the regime's unsustainable cruelty. His paralysis is a direct consequence of his own synthetic nature, tying the episodes' themes of enforced happiness and systemic failure together.
