Pretty much...

Yeah, I guess I made it sound a little too extreme. She just wanted everything back...and since Patricia wouldn't help her...if she had just listened and went about everything in a different way, by repenting and being nice to win everyone back...she wouldn't have given up Patricia...it was her inability to see that she was in the wrong that made her lose everything, and give up the one friend who was loyal, without having to be (I say having to be, because Joy and Mara had their deal).

Uhh, yeah, that would have been perfect. Patricia already basically did just that for an entire season...Joy only helped Sibuna because Fabian wanted it, and those few times she did something without any slightly selfish desires, it was for Fabian, and then Mara. The writers could have easily made her save anyone in that scene, and it could have easily been Patricia, it probably would have made more sense considering Joy already made up with Fabian but still owed Patricia a debt, and besides, it would have proven that if it gets down to it, Joy would have been just as loyal as Patricia was to her...but we never got to see that side of her...(Okay, she prefered to lose Amber over Patricia during Senet, but only freaked out when it was Fabian she might lose)
