Even if either of them did want to "switch sides", the other "side" sure as hell wouldn't just immediately open their arms and let them in instantly. They've done too much shit by this point (attempted genocide), not to mention them being affiliated with Control at all (as a potential spy), for the other side to trust them. Trust would be a long process that, frankly, we don't have enough time left in the season for. The only type of side switching we'd have a chance for, IMO, is through sacrifice. Otherwise, they're too far gone.
