''"Everybody lives, Rose! Just this once! Everybody lives!" --The Doctor''

'''PLAUSIBLE'''

Everyone is caught by the disease - even Filbert, no matter what he says - and if they die, they're brought back, no matter what. Even Ruby and Tom, and even if they manage to escape, are facing a future as immortal, undying beings, slowly mutating into shapeless masses, a very bad ending indeed. Thus, for a good ending, they must get rid of their disease - and while they're at it, why not do it for everyone else? Perhaps they will be given means to distribute the entire solution, perhaps in a form of a gas, to the entire facility at the same time? If everything goes really well, the "cure for cure" will rid them of their mutations, making them fully human (furry?) once more, and allowing everyone to live as non-mutated regular beings for the rest of their natural days.

CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE: Of course, if we are to believe the Metal Glen poem, pretty much everyone but Ruby and Tom have a guaranteed BAD END. And besides, right now it'd seem like Red has died permanently and indefinitely anyway, so it really wouldn't be "everybody" to begin with.

CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE 2: Weaver has stated that The Treatment, the source of immortality for the characters, must be given on a regular basis to be effective.  This means that Ruby, Tom, and Jay will eventually be freed from its effects.
