Anton and his companions witnessed Pedro confront Rosier over the Blood Curse, while Pedro's memory loss and time-traveling selves made the confrontation even more chaotic.

After Pedro insisted Anna and Nagini could not be cured, Anton proposed delaying their transformations and prepared to search Pedro’s memories for Witch Volkanova’s research.
