So here's a thought I realized I'd forgotten to share. Maybe Summer didn't destrou Salem, but cleansed her. Maybe Salem just had ample rage to kill her afterwards, and took a victory dip to keep the hate train topped off? It's not just the grimm goo she's now infused with. She was angry for a very long time before that.

She probably knows that she's a monster, but she's embraced it. I think that they may have to wear her down, and keep her from being able to recorrupt herself before attempting the "talking no jutsu."

That lets it be a mix of marital prowess, moral highground, teamwork, a big old beatdown, and still having empathy.
