As they walk away, Peggy figures that something happened at the Council meeting, and Dottie is still alive. She believes that Whitney will conclude that Dottie is more use to her alive than dead, and will try to use Dottie against them if she can. As Peggy goes to check on Jarvis, Daniel says that they talk about... things. They awkwardly agree and to do so later.
Dottie watches as Vernon lays out torture instruments. She assures him that he has nothing that can get her to talk, and he explains that he learned torture techniques from a German interrogator. Dottie says that she's pulled out her own teeth, nails, and hair, and tells Vernon that he's wasting his time. Angry, Vernon demands to know what Peggy is looking for, and Dottie points out that he's afraid of Whitney. He injects Dottie with truth serum, and she just smiles.
At the Stark estate, Jason instructs Ana on building the containment unit. He briefly fades out, and Ana points out that it's happening more frequently. Peggy arrives and asks Jason how he's doing, and he deliberately lies, claiming that he's doing grant. Jarvis finishes repairing the transponder, but it doesn't pick up the locator on Dottie's necklace. Peggy figures that she's out of range and suggests that they get to a higher elevation. Jason doesn't see the point in rescuing a Russian spy, but Peggy points out that Dottie is her responsibility. The scientist suggests that they activate the kill switch on the necklace, and explains that he's facing much worse than death. After a moment, Jason apologizes and says that he's not thinking straight, and they go back to work.
Dottie easily resists the truth serum, and Vernon tells her that he read about how she was tricked into helping a crazy Russian against Howard.

When she says that they're in the same boat, Whitney says that they're nothing alike and says that she disabled the track in device on the necklace. She then grabs Dottie throats, and Dottie screams as zero matter spreads through her body and wells up in her throat. Whitney releases her grip after a moment, and Dottie tells her that she got a sample of the zero matter for Peggy. She says that Peggy wants the zero matter to restore Jason to normal, and Whitney tells her that she's still useful to her as she starts removing the necklace.
Jason enters the containment unit and Jarvis turns it on. Peggy releases the zero matter sample onto Jason's hand, and he turns solid.

He assures her that Peggy can handle whatever comes up, and wonders if Ana wants him to go.
