It took them gaining super-intelligence from Olivia's Intelli-pill to realize what she's been doing to them, and just before they realized it they were using their super-intelligent powers to fight each other just so they could gain their mother's approval. A fight that she goaded on despite the fact that they could've killed each other or worse, destroy the whole city.
