Well obviously, she turned into a mutant so her personality is going to be slightly different, but the thing is, it wasn't turned into the exact opposite of who she was. Many characters who have suffered derailment on the show turned into their exact opposites (Leshawna's spa lie, Gwen's giddish girly personality in TDAS, e.t.c.) Dakota was still shown to retain her care for Sam after the mutation. It's not the same as derailment.
