Why don't we just treat Healing Characters getting discarded as an instead? You instead the Character getting discarded to your Territory. Sort of like how Chamber of Angels works.

I think it's because instead needs to be tied to an ongoing ability. "If this happens, instead do this". So the healing card would need to be active before the discard. Which would be fine for Peter, but it wouldn't work with how heal enhancements are intended to be played.
