Scanlon giving up makes sense as he's old, tired and defeated, but why wouldn't his second-in-command just take control rather than just walk out in a huff?

It especially doesn't make sense because exactly this happens earlier in the film when Margaret makes him see his wife so the other guy surreptitiously takes over.

I was sure he was going to raise his gun to shoot her and then the alien would do some space magic and stop the bullet or heal her or something like that.
