Certainly the knife in the back is metaphorical and not literal. It only indicated betrayal of some sort. Yes it could have been Carlos changing his vote but didn't he say it was an emergency meeting of the SC while Eb and LTW were in surgery? That the vote was unanimous as well? We've been assuming that both Eb and LTW didn't know the vote would take place, giving their proxies to the Merlin but what if they had their proxies vote against Harry or knowingly let their proxies go to Langtree?

When Langtry has proxies, he uses them his way, he only follows the wishes of those who's proxies he holds when their wishes coincide with his own. We saw that in Proven Guilty.
