Mr. Lowell frantically seeks Umbra to save his daughter Liana, but Umbra is unreachable and legendary. A young man suddenly offers to treat her, sparking ridicule and threats—Tina even orders him killed. He insists that killing him will doom Liana, examines her and notes icy limbs with a burning forehead, then declares the diagnosis: "yin-collapsed meridians." The family, stunned, begs him to proceed. The episode ends as they hand him authority to treat Liana, with the cure still unproven and the outcome unresolved.
