He tells him that if he dies so does she because Oliver will not find her in time.

Oliver tells the team about Adrian being Prometheus. One of them suggests telling Pike. It is shot down immediately because they have no proof yet. Felicity gets the proof they need through Helix. Oliver turns the information over to Pike. After receiving the visit from Oliver and gaining the information Pike is stabbed and now in a coma.
