It's highly implied that the Handler would have let him fulfill his contract, as they agreed, and he could have played TheLongGame to stop the apocalypse in at least one timeline. He ends up breaking a few rules on his first day, steals a file, and gets shot by the Handler for his troubles.

This doesn't stop her from thinking she was intentionally excluded and lecturing Allison on how unfair it is to be her sister. It doesn't help that Luther implies that the apocalypse doesn't concern her, and Allison says she'll fill in Vanya later, which makes her feel like a second thought.
