Hi! I need help working out that mechanism for the hydrolysis of an alkyl hydrogensulphate to form an alcohol. This is following the electrophilic addition of concentrated H2SO4 to an alkene. Here's the mechanism I have so far below, and the pink boxed part is where I need help. Thank you :)

Check the acidic saponification or hydrolysis of an ester.
The pink one is double. The hydogensulfate group has to be exchanged to what.
