My grid had 345 in r9c3, so the one-stepper was a Type 2 UR on 35-4.

Another one step solution is the UR47.
Code:
*--------------------------------------------------*
 |b48   3    1    | 7    9    6    |c48   5    2    |
 | 2    5    9    | 4    8    3    | 7    6    1    |
 | 7   a48   6    | 1    2    5    | 348  9    34   |
 |----------------+----------------+----------------|
 | 45   9    8    | 2    6    1    |-45   3    7    |
 | 3    1    7    | 5    4    9    | 6    2    8    |
 | 6    2    45   | 3    7    8    | 19  z14   459  |
 |----------------+----------------+----------------|
 | 458  6    345  | 89   35  x27   | 12  y17   49   |
 | 9   @47   2    | 6    1   @47   | 35   8    35   |
 | 1   @478  35   | 89   35  @247  | 29   47   6    |
 *--------------------------------------------------*

UR47 marked @ is in r89c26. To prevent the deadly pattern, either r9c2=8 or r9c6=2.

(8)r9c2 - (8=4)r3c2 - (4)r1c1 = (4)r1c7 (marked a,b,c)
or
(2)r9c6 - (2=7)r7c6 - (7=1)r7c8 - (1=4)r6c8 (marked x,y,z)

These two pincers delete the 4 in r4c7 to complete the puzzle.

Just looking at Ted's grid, the 4 is removed from r9c6 when using the UR as a hidden. After the eliminations therefrom, multicoloring on 4 takes out the 4 from r9c2 and completes the puzzle.
