If we do do the whole 'character redemption thing' again then it should be done right which means that we follow a series of steps:

1. Introduce the character, establish that they are yes crazy and in need of help but still have redeeming qualities.

2. Present the reason why they are crazy, build sympathy with the audience and leave the door open to bring the character back.

3. Put the character and their rival protagonist in a situation where they have the option of do or die and force them to bond.

4. Finally reintroduce the character with 'as I've been redeemed let's move on' fighting a more dangerous foe.
