To prevent this from happening, Dresden contacted Kincaid and arranged for his own assassination. In order to prevent Mab from discovering this plan, he then had Molly remove the memory of it. With Dresden having remembered the true events that he arranged, Uriel appears and explains that a fallen angel interfered with Dresden's death. The fallen angel's direct influence permitted Uriel to respond in kind, allowing Dresden to come back and learn the truth.
Uriel then offers Dresden the choice to come to work for him, or continue on to What Comes Next. Dresden demands to see how his loved ones fare in order to make an informed choice. Uriel complies, showing Dresden that Molly was successful in defeating the Corpsetaker with Mort's help, that Maggie has been lovingly adopted by the Carpenters, and that Dresden's other loved ones are safe and well.

Mab is simultaneously angry and pleased by Dresden's attempt to shirk her service, and tells Dresden to prepare himself for her to turn him into her creature. Uriel takes this opportunity to officially balance the scales, whispering to Dresden "Lies, Mab cannot change who you are.
