I'm guessing that Irene will save her.
To be fair, this would be the only decent conclusion to this chapter.
It wouldn´t repair everything that´s broken about Irene´s character arc, but it would make sense. Being torn apart between being a parent and being a selfish cunt is human.
If Irene turns good next chapter, this is the character arc of Darth Vader from episode 4-6. Which is a beloved figure throughout the world, not necessarily because of that last chapter, but people do like his final twist and find it relateable.
