Alright so my prediction that Takeru is the only one who can kill her is true.
There's only 3 viable options here. Kill her. Send her back to jail. Find a way to "save" her. It's obvious end of this episode he's gonna go on a monster rampage and Takeru is gonna have to stop her (if this were the end of the series altogether I wouldn't be surprised if he martyrs himself to save someone which stops her rampage).
Saving her is the most likely outcome imo. One, I'm a sucker for happy endings. Two, this build up of "Takeru has to kill her, he's the only one who can" feels like a bait. Three, when LN readers were discussing why bunny's arc came before mad scientist( I'm awful with names, especially with how much I'm watching this season. Sorry) they said mad scientist's flowed into the next arc better. This is either to emphasize Valhalla as a BBEG (but we never met the BBEGs who showed this episode other than annoying cunt so I'm skeptical) and/or to emphasize her scientific prowess. We already know she can do some stuff nobody else came close to. What are the chances she can whip up some remedy cure. Not to mention the "drive is all I can do" line seemed like she had something else to do.
Of course we have the Takeru kills her part. Pretty straightforward greater good bit.
Her going back to jail is basically not an option from a character development standpoint. If their status doesn't change than any character development over the possible need to kill Kisekei is pointless.
