They couldn't even pivot all the way, they still had her trying to mind-control Rhombulus to free Globgor, who they acknowledge was a mewman-eater at one point, but by the end, they're playing it off like Rhombulus and the MHC are irrational in their fear of her, and they facilitate the villain. She's not just a Mary Sue, she's a "Black Hole Sue", whose presence distorts the personalities of the characters around her.
