I don't think Mercury will switch sides but he'll either:

1.) Attempt to leave and be a sort of Anti-Villain. Merc may try to bring Emerald with him (if she is in a coma) or he might convince her to leave with him (if she's alright). Aside from being on the run alone, he can actually join Raven as a bandit if Emerald doesn't come along or if she's in a coma.

2.) Stay on Salem's side. I think if Emerald decides to stay and avenge Cinder, the two of them have been close enough to stick together. Merc might want to stay with her because I do think he at least considers her to be the first and only friend (or family) he's ever had.
