I just chalked it up to her emotions dealing with the loss of Gambit and Eric. Like I said I'm just glad they didn't portray him as they like they would normally do in this situation. He wasn't the bad guy and he was actually trying to help. It would be interesting to see if they followed up with her finding his shield and bringing it back to him but I doubt they will.
I hope his appearance opens the door for them to consider bringing back Avengers:EMH.
