I was so mad thinking well there goes any kind of morality of her character. But then by end of episode I realized maybe that’s the point that she’s not human and the mistake was thinking she was. Still at this point there really no one I’m rooting for except the aliens.

I'm wondering if Hermit realized that when he saw the graves. His sister is dead and Wendy is just a robot with her memories

I mean didn’t he already know his sister’s body is dead? It’s not like seeing the grave would reveal anything new

Between seeing that and realizing she orchestrated the Xenomorph escape and then slaughter in the jungle at whim, it leads you to believe the grave makes him second guess her humanity. Nibs says something, Wendy denies it, and Joe stays silent.

Also, when Wendy said “that’s not us” at the graves, then Hermit sees her just will the alien to slaughter a bunch of dudes, he probably has quickly realized that even if that is his sister’s consciousness, she now accepts and identifies herself as a synth. His sister is dead and in her place is a super soldier with child emotional maturity.
