Interesting question, because it brings up a bit of a Catch-22 with the storytelling, here:

KC NEEDS TO CARRY THIS OUT AND RESOLVE THE PLOT!
If she DOESN'T show up, then most of us would feel dissatisfied and view this as a 'loose end' in the plot that was never cleaned up, never resolved. Despite the fact that most of us expect this will happen, it nevertheless won't feel like a completely satisfying story if she disappears, or dies in some meaningless, random way (e.g., she falls off a building).

KC IS A HACK, A MERE SLAVE TO PREDICTABLE PLOT CONVENTIONS!
But if she DOES show up, then this could be viewed as a predictable, formulaic plot convention that Kc has used where the villain comes back at the end for one last stand before she is destroyed forever. Been done a million times before, thus reflecting a stunning lack of innovation or creative risk-taking on the part of the author.



So Kc is basically fucked either way.
