Expansion card questions: Citywide Crisis causes “When Revealed” effects on side schemes in play to be resolved. Some “When Revealed”…

Question

Citywide Crisis causes “When Revealed” effects on side schemes in play to be resolved. Some “When Revealed” effects — such as Legions of Hel — cause a card to gain surge when conditions are met. Suppose Legions of Hel is in play, with no Undead minions in play. If Citywide Crisis’s effect attempts to resolve, Legions of Hel gains surge. Question 1: Does that “surge” actually DO anything? The side scheme itself doesn’t seem to be “revealed” (because it’s already on the table), and surge says, “After an encounter card with this keyword is REVEALED [my emphasis], the player resolving the card reveals an additional encounter card from the top of the encounter deck.” Question 2: If the answer to #1, above, is “no, surge doesn’t do anything in this case,” does the final line of Citywide Crisis — “If no ‘When Revealed’ ability was resolved this way, place 2 threat on each scheme.” — happen? I’m confused about, if surge is looking for “After an encounter card with this keyword is REVEALED…” and it doesn’t gain surge until after it’s revealed, then — by a strict reading of the rules — gaining surge doesn’t do anything.
