That answer, as Baker told EW, is “complex.”
In the film’s final moments, she’s able to see Igor as a kindred spirit.
She initiates sex with him to remind herself that she still has power of her own.

Why does she react that way?
It could be as simple as the pain and exhaustion of the previous 48 hours overwhelming her.
There’s no place for her (or Igor) among the 1%.
