It's a TV episode. the heroes reach a low point where they think they're defeated, one of the characters has an idea to make things work, they follow him and it eventually leads to a combat scene, they lose and are hopeless again, but another character has another idea, it doesn't involve combat, just a montage of the events, and it works. Is it considered bad structure to have 2 low points? I really think both the first and the second have essential scenes that i would be sad to throw away.
