** There's a file in-game sort of explaining it. Right when she pulled the trigger, she had a moment of doubt regarding the plan, and that triggered the T-Phobos in her system, which resurrected her as a horrifying monster. After that, whatever sanity she had walked out the door; she still lived, and so did Natalia as her backup, which meant that there would be two Alexes. Original!Alex [[CloningBlues could not accept the thought of another Alex existing in a human form while she existed as a monster]], there could be only one, yadda yadda, so she released Uroboros on the Island so that when Natalia woke up she'd be killed. This is also explained if you can piece together what she's ranting about in the final boss battle.

* It's made pretty obvious from the start of the game that Claire is pretty good friends with the Burton family, which makes perfect sense given how close Chris and Barry are. So why does Claire seem particularly subdued at Moira joining up with Terra Save? One would expect showing joy at having a close friend join up with your organization that's out to save the world. However, given as close as the Redfields and Burtons are, and Claire's own experiences from [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Resident Evil 2]], [[VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica Resident Evil: Code Veronica]], and [[Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration Resident Evil: Degeneration]], this could be discomfort at allowing her to join when Barry's been trying to keep her safe all these years after being threatened by Wesker.

* According to the game, one of Natalia's trademark traits is immunity to fear. This becomes baffling at the beginning of Episode 3, where she seems terrified of old-hag Alex Wesker. She frantically shows Barry an exit and he shoots some debris down to block approaching enemies as they run for it; Natalia falls and is unable to walk afterward. The fact that she recovers from that injury within minutes is also somewhat strange...but then you realize that Alex Wesker did, in fact, succeed in transferring herself into Natalia, meaning Natalia's out-of-character moment and near-superhuman recovery are actually hints of Wesker's success.

* At first, the sheer number of zombies doesn't really make sense. Unlike the other games, where there were large cities of people infected and the protagonists were present only a short time, this game takes place on an island with a relatively small population. Evgeny has been there for years. Moira lived there for six months. Even if they did not actively hunt zombies, they would wear away at their numbers by attrition. However, the Uroboros virus doesn't require a live host. It can re-infect slain zombies. This is why Barry fights primarily the stronger, Uroboros minions, while Claire and Moira were up against more traditional T-Virus zombies. Wesker had been raising her fallen minions with Uroboros parasites.

** This is all belatedly explained by Barry's sections in Episodes Three and Four. [[spoiler:Claire got off the island somehow and told him what she knew. Barry spent the next six months trying to track Moira down, and only belatedly found her radio broadcast from Episode One, which led him to the island. He immediately takes off alone, but Claire's reappearance at the end of Episode Four (as well as the massive military fleet that arrived on the island not long after) suggests that Barry took off ahead of everyone else.]]

** Immortality is a broader concept than you make it out to be. Alex was ensuring her legacy and her intellect would be undying, not necessary she herself. It's implied that she wasn't personally afraid of dying [[spoiler:right up until the instant she committed suicide.]]

* [[spoiler: Mutant Alex is more than capable of bitch slapping Barry off a cliff and choking Natalia. So why does she suddenly stop and run away and later inject herself with Uroboros? She's not afraid of Barry or Natalia, but she's terrified that the Alex within Natalia will kill her and sees Uroboros as a last ditch effort to save herself.]]

This makes more sense when you realize [[spoiler: Claire is the one who briefed him on everything she knew of the island after her confirmed escape in Episode 4. There were no Uroboros monsters when she and Moira navigated the island]].
