To the surprise of just about nobody, the actress who is frequently cast as a villain and has an evil face turns out to be a villain in the movie's third act.

As herself and Hamilton prepare to head to Earth in an escape pod, she knocks Hamilton out and heads back to the station, where she kills Monk after trying to get the firing keys to the Shepard.

Hamilton eventually realises what's happened and confronts Jensen, who explains that her own version of Earth won't have time to rebuild the Shepard, and she needs to use this version. With some of the movie's soundest logic, she remarks that she'll gladly kill three people to save 8 billion. Fair enough.
