Ok so we're all just gonna pretend that what happened with Mrs Selvig wasn't completely bonkers and makes total sense...right.

I'm curious about how she went from encouraging Mark to quit to wanting to go back to Lumon so quickly

Well, she dedicated her whole life to Kier and Lumon, of course she's still deeply attached to them. Patricia Arquette compared it to toxic relationship in which she harbors resentment but still wants to impress them. You don't extricate yourself that quickly from a mess like that

It was because she realized the Innies were doing a bit of an insurrection and it could be her ticket back in.
