As much as I would love an easy solution as that, it'd be extremely out of character for Mal to do. As he grows, he becomes more and more malicious and power hungry. He's been insulted and embarrassed, so to give up would mean admitting everyone was right, and that he is wrong and indeed very weak.
From this point on, any time that he talks to Sam will be to try and break her. He's desperate and scared and the other 'voices' will actually repel him-and for the record, they can do so-so it is in his most interest, though certainly not best, to keep fighting back for control of Samantha.
How it all plays out is up to the commands: Anything demoralizing her will weaken her will to fight, but positive feedback will weaken Mal instead.
No point in the plot reveals this, so I might as well say so myself, that Mal is actually the ~~~zombie tumor~~~ that others were deducing earlier. His reason past control and bloodlust is nonexistent; he can't go long without a burst of violence.
It's like taking a zombie and giving them a chance to have an able, fast, strong body, with a down payment of actual intelligence and though not perfect, sense of self preservation. He wants this body so that he can crush others and prove his strength; He is fuckin' BAD, and no one can tell him otherwise, else their body will be laying dismembered and palpated on the doorstep of the foolish.
