Does the Constable's affection token still apply if the Constable is discarded only because you were knocked out, or if you survive to the final showdown and lose?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. The Constable pays out only if it is already in your discard pile at the moment you are knocked out. A Constable discarded as part of the knockout does not count, and neither does losing the final showdown without being knocked out.
