If I saw two crew members disagreeing sharply in front of passengers during a disruption, I would focus on stabilizing the passenger-facing moment first. If I could do it without adding to the confusion, I would step in with a practical next action such as taking one task, redirecting one crew member, or suggesting we continue the discussion away from passengers.

I would not correct either coworker publicly or let the disagreement become part of the cabin atmosphere. In that moment, passengers need to see a functioning crew, not internal conflict. If necessary, I would say quietly, "I will cover this side. Let us regroup in the galley in a minute," so the conflict moves out of public view.
