At some point, Davis would arrange the disappearance of two former SANCTUM researchers who were to testify against her. Davis also began to look into the prospect of recruiting criminals with unique skills for the FBI's use, developing a project codenamed "The Devil You Own" that would oversee the creation of a specialized shock collar that could be used to control such criminals and researched others methods that could be used as leverage and collateral to entice these criminals to better follow orders. While Davis did well to cover her tracks on these more unethical and illegal projects, she nonetheless developed a somewhat notorious reputation as a hardened and stern leader of dubious nature, deeply respected by some and feared by others.

Elsewhere, Davis is visited by Deputy Director Ralph Bundy, who wants to dismiss Davis from the FBI since she accepted evidence from Cayden James, a cyberterrorist.
