Total sharing of information; they're basically now a four-way split personality. No-one has ascendance in control over their body(ies), so they have to learn to play nice together.
Hijinks ensue.
I think I would go slightly less extreme than that. I'd say have each of them keep each other's powers, but degrading over time, like a month or two. Lisa and Taylor's power together should give them a sort of short range telepathy, I'd think, especially if they were using Taylor's trick of dumping her emotions into the swarm.
There should be a quite a few decent ripples out from that both plotwise and NSFW. Like all of them suddenly being Vickysexual... Even Vicky. Amy having to save all the hostages from Black Widow bites with the unfortunate knowledge that it really was her overall fault they got bitten. (Honestly I've never known why nobody ever called her on this. Even before Vicky showed up she was purposefully acting to fuck up a master's control over her insects when that very control was the only thing keeping them from acting on their instincts and biting everyone to death. Sure she could heal them but there was still another villain with a completely unknown power still in the bank. Imagine if it had been Trickster rather than Tattletale and Taylor was temporarily knocked out by the fire-extinguisher. There would have been masses of dead hostages, panacea injured, and still likely no captured villains to show for it.) More fun with the Dallons, what'll happen to Carol's mental state if Vicky starts actively choosing Amy over her?
Anyways, with the separation you also have some tension for the continuation. I mean, of course they learn to lean on their new powers as crutches, just like their old ones, but these are fading. Is it worth melding again? Do they really want the others to know their thoughts and what they've been up to in the last month or so? Should they add anyone else to the group? Can they game this to act more to their advantage if its purposeful? Will Amy's power push her to using this new expression? Can she even use her power in the old way? Even if she can, will she want to go back to a support role when she finally has a taste of what it's like to be an Alexandria package?
