Scarlett tries to convince everyone that she is no longer evil won't work for Scarlett. I think the sub-plot will work well for Mike than Scarlett because even though Mal is defeated for good it could leave a huge task for Mike in the future as the contestants won't have enough trust on Mike anymore because the contestants feared that Mal might regain control again and would be defeated by him. This gives Mike a huge task to regain the contestants' trust on him. As the contestants slowly begin to trust in Mike again, they will learn more about him. (And for us, the audience, this sub-plot would give Mike more character development on Mike's character (excluding his Multiple Personality Disorder and his relationship with Zoey) the next time we see him compete again).
