Alice’s true goal: She wants Catherine Hamilton-Kane to publicly confess to covering up the accident that “killed” Beth. She broadcasts a ransom video across all emergency channels: “One mother’s truth for the city’s light. Refuse, and I’ll plunge every hospital, every orphanage, every police precinct into permanent night.” Mary Hamilton (Nicole Kang) is running her underground clinic in the blackout, treating Crows injured in the initial surge. A young Card Soldier, “ The Knave ” (a 16-year-old girl with a scarred smile), brings in a wounded comrade. Mary treats him. In return, the Knave gives Mary a burner phone. Alice’s voice crackles: “Hello, half-sister. Here’s the game. Catherine has one hour to confess. If she doesn’t, I release a video of you stitching up my soldier to every news outlet. Your clinic, your mother, your life – gone. Or… you can inject Catherine with this syringe.” A vial of pale green liquid is shown: diluted Scarecrow fear toxin , modified to induce temporary paralysis and vivid hallucinations of one’s worst failure.
