Cindy refuses her father's demand to marry Theo to repay Dr. Lynn, then secretly asks Mr. Walker to assign Theo to the morgue to scare him off. At the morgue staff pronounce a young man dead from alcohol-related intracranial hemorrhage, thirty minutes postmortem. Using Ninth-Heaven Techniques taught by Mr. Lynn, Cindy reaches the ninth level, seals and channels energy into the soles to revive him. The man wakes woozy—"My head's killing me"—and Cindy insists he'll be fine, but he immediately swears, "F*ck you, you pervert!" Cindy is left facing an angry, living stranger and instant fallout.
