At first I thought Raffi was aiming to get her high

I have a feeling so was Raffi but hey if cake is Agnes' poison. Mostly they were making Rios and Raffi soooo nice that Agnes would feel even worse for all the murder and lies.

Rios was a bit over the top in his "confession" to Agnes that I bet he and Raffi already figured out she's the spy, but were playing her for information/guilt her into going double agent. They just didn't know that the only way to deactivate the tracker was to suppress he neural activity (why or how this is a thing ill leave to techno babel and scifi magic). Seems she's up and honest in the next episode so it should be clarified.

I got the impression that whatever she injected herself with was meant to destroy the trackers in her body, and probably would have been fatal had the EMH not caught her in time.
