The Doc raised an interesting point. Alex can't handle rejection. It seems obvious knowing his backstory, but it's something neither Clark or the Doctor took in consideration.
Neither did I, btw. I though Alex would kill the Doctor because it fit his M.O.: Doc was in love with him and an easy target. Or out of jealousy. Or both. Not like this.
The Doctor knew that Clark is unable to love and that he is the only one that came close. After all, he has always been the only human being Clark has made an effort to keep close. And he could see that Alex was obsessed with Clark.
Clark though he would be the next victim, but he forgot that the target needs to tell Alex they love him first. He never did. He made the guy go crazy about him and then rejected him.

We all knew it was coming, but it still hurts. I guess it's because it felt like the Doctor was starting to realize he needed to move on. Not for the right reasons, like that fact that Alex was a serial killer. But because he could see he had no chance.
Was he stupid? I don't think so, maybe just a little. Delusional? Certainly. That funeral scene and that flashback about the scammer make me think that he also had a fucked up backstory, that he didn't insist on the lost cases just because. He had some issues as well. Being a psychologist didn't make him perfect when dealing with people, he was still human and flawed.
As we saw this last chapter, from a rational point of view he did understand Alex. But emotion makes fools out of all of us.
RIP, Doc ╥﹏╥

It seems like they will change the reason why Japan offered to help with this operation. I'M SO HAPPY! ヾ(☆▽☆)

Won't that mess up the story later then? I just can't see how the Korean Hunters will end up in that situation later on if Japan changes their reasoning.
Never mind all the other stuff later on.
...: Did you do it? Did you expand your collection?
Clark: Yes.
...: But what did it cost?
Clark: Everything.
