I  love the twist in the second plot but I don't think your sidekick would be ethical enough to choose wrong over right just for saving his life many years ago. It puts the life of others at risk to accept that under extreme pressure - unless in the end you are going to wrap your ending around this thought - that with internal conflict, sidekick finally kicks Dr. Evil to the curb and becomes your hero.
