The question was...how did she do that?  It was clear that Akiko had no desire to look beyond her circumstances - hell, she was the boss' right hand, as she'd said.  Ishi's (rather clumsy) attempt to get her to question what was going on hadn't really gone anywhere.  Maybe if she could somehow prod Akiko into looking into Cheshire, she might have a chance of turning her rather than having to drag her out after a stun.
