I hadn’t understood why the servant would give in so easily, but when we left the dungeon, Father said that it was what people did when they felt abandoned and alone. If given the chance, they would act out after perceived betrayal, and try to turn things around by joining their rivals.

That was likely what Roxy was about to do, now that she knew that her accomplice- this Anubis, had betrayed her and left her behind.
