corriendo de vuelta
En el texto se habla de Megan Kelly como si fuera una serpiente o reptil parecido, y la frase viene a decir que la manda de vuelta al sitio de donde ha salido. Lo literal sería "reptando/escurriéndose de vuelta" pero me parece que por contexto "corriendo de vuelta", o simplemente "de vuelta" también funciona.

arrastrándose/reptando de vuelta
Creo que no se debe quitar intensidad al tono despectivo del texto que alude claramente a una actitud reptil y vergonzante con "scurrying".
Sugerencia: "y la manda arrastrándose/reptando de vuelta bajo la roca de la que había salido a gatas"

la manda a esconderse como una lagartija, a toda prisa,
debajo de la roca de donde salió...
Creo que la metáfora del reptil, como "una lagartija", me parece bastante apta en el contexto.
Y natural, claro. No en balde se estudian las lagartijas en las clases de Ciencias Naturales... ;-)
Saludos cordiales.
