One Last Lion Dance - Episode 9

Alexander slips during a duty and Miss Lynch forces him to keep performing despite Jessica's desperate pleas to spare him, blaming Jessica for Alice's illness and citing her risky pregnancy. Meanwhile the Lynch family arranges Dr. Smith for Mr. Zimmer's surgery. Alexander wakes in hospital — his left leg amputated and shrapnel in his head — and insists Jessica should believe he's dead so she won't be tied to him. Commander Scott and Alice learn the city-saving rescuer is Alice's father, marked by a crescent birthmark; Alice rushes to tell her mother, leaving Alexander's self-erasure and Jessica's choice unresolved.
