How do I order Overzealous Fan and hidden Tideturner responses?

Question

I have Overzealous Fan at a battlefield with a hidden Tideturner and another unit on my board. I want to kill Overzealous Fan to push an enemy back to base, but also use Tideturner to bring a new unit in and draw 1 for winning combat with Glorious Executioner. How should I order this?

You choose whether to kill Overzealous Fan immediately when it becomes a Defender. If you do, its ability goes on the chain. While a chain exists, you cannot lose control of the battlefield, so your hidden Tideturner stays. You can react to Overzealous Fan's ability by revealing Tideturner — Tideturner's ability goes on top, moves your unit in and Tideturner swaps places, then Overzealous Fan's ability resolves and pushes the chosen enemy back to base.
