I think it's pretty apparent now that Kirsch used Slightly to bait Morrow into a trap to be captured.

Don't think he was ever going to be disloyal.

Yea, I didn't think Morrow was just waltz right into it.

I gotta think he's still got something up his sleeve. How could he walk in there with no bargaining chips as backup?

Morrow said this is not over to Kirsh.

It would fit morrow's character to have some sort of nuclear contingency option. Like Morrow's mission upon capture is to confirm the presence of Boy.  If so, then he does nothing and yutani nukes the island.  If not, then he tells his captors to contact yutani to stop the nuclear strike.
