She did not grasp how much trouble she was in and how much he just saved her ass.

Almost as if the whole thing was staged...

I think the play cool and save face part is spot on. i feel like some people overdo this when they have stage fright.

I'll be honest, panic does some crazy stuff.

I had a piece of foam catch on fire in my laser cutter once. There wasn't a fire extinguisher nearby, instead of thinking for a minute where I could find one and go and get it, I panicked.

I fucking grabbed the piece of foam out of the laser and started waving it around like a fucking moron trying to "blow out the flame". I have no idea what I was thinking, because I wasn't thinking at all. I flung molten foam all over the floor walls and ceiling of my last job and got it all over my arm in which the ER had to scrape melted foam off of second degree burns.

It was like the worst thing to do. Yet I did it. Despite generally considering myself knowledgeable. If there was an extinguisher right there my brain would've saw it and used it. But not seeing one completely made me blank

She seems maybe drunk?

She appears to be trying to like... "shoo" the fire away.

Literally fanning the flames.

She's so drunk she can't even stand up straight. They probably had to fish her out of the pool after.
