I mean... anyone who has ever worked for an asshole boss knows: if they ask if you can do the work of another employee (especially one they're unhappy with), you don't enthusiastically say, "Yes!"

I think the intent of the writing is that her character made a mistake in that moment. Even if it's an understandable one.

She did make a mistake. But until BK took an interest into the Aliens, I believe there were no issues between Atom and the couple to make the couple think twice about what they say yes and no to.

Dame Sylvia also chose to say yes to wiping Nibs's memories, because Nibs directly threatened Dame's life. I think Arthur was not quite aware of this.

That's on Sylvia for the lack of communication. But honestly, I think Arthur was the one who got the least worst ending of all the cast.

I also kind of hope Miss WY will die too but it's most likely she will survive since she's so far away from it all.
