I understand the confusion. Alice is different from 003; that is a fact. I am sorry if I was not able to articulate my theory better, as I wrote it right after I read the chapter. Thank you for giving the lost thought I missed in my previous post. If the story follows my theory, 003 initially planned to do the "rescue" to make the NUMBERS indebted to her. Unfortunately, ALICE swooped in first. But with the plot twist might still happen if the NUMBERS and ALICE encounter overwhelming force; 003 might still show up (you never know until the new chapter next week). 

In any case, Alice is a welcome addition to the fold, she'll definitely provide some needed assistance in making sure the NUMBERS get out of this predicament alive. I just hope the Big Guy survives to kill bad guys and eat Korean Fried Chicken another day.
