Peggy Carter has gone Hollywood — but that hasn’t stopped the influx of bad guys in the second season of Marvel’s Agent Carter.

In the two-hour season premiere, Peggy (Hayley Atwell) basically stumbled upon a rather large conspiracy involving a mysterious council that controls the world and a volatile substance called Zero Matter — otherwise known as Darkforce, which has ties to the world of Doctor Strange. Who is this Council? What will happen to new villain Whitney Frost (Wynn Everett) after being exposed to the Darkforce? EW turned to executive producers Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas to find out:

Is the pin that Dottie (Bridget Regan) wanted to steal from the bank connected to the Council?
FAZEKAS: There is an A on the pin that comes back, and actually comes back in a couple of different ways. It has more meaning than you originally think it has.

Presumably, members of this group took Dottie away from the SSR. Does the Council infiltrate high levels of the government?
FAZEKAS: Certainly Vernon Masters, who’s played by Kurtwood Smith, is beholden to them.

Is this the last we’ve seen of Dottie?
BUTTERS: Let’s just say probably not. [Laughs]
