I feel like somewhere they would offer to fix his shitty mechanical body, or at least ease his pain. Maybe even restore his original body? Then they would deus ex machina him into being good or at least not as evil. Maybe a little holodeck padme action at the end? A little feel good fluff at the end?
If they could do that wouldn’t they have fixed Christopher Pike?
Thinking back, it’s very inconsistent. Kirk, Spock and McCoy get plasma burns, brain removed, shot in the chest, stabbed. All fixed by the end of the episode.

Meanwhile Pike still only goes beep.
Definitely a TNG solution.
