Yeah she didnt "do" anything wrong, the back straight was the next passing zone after you caught her. Its just really strange that she would get that worked up over it. The instructor needs to pull her in and calm her down. Unfortunately Ive seen instructors do just the opposite- get students worked up and hypercompetitive.
I remember an inverse situation early in my HPDE career. In HPDE2 a fireball throwing FD catches me in the uphill esses, I let it by at the next passing zone, the back straight. No big deal right. When the FD passes both the instructor and driver flipped me off, arms extended all the way out the window. I laughed out loud. My instructor made an audible cringe, I think he was embarrassed that a fellow instructor would behave like that.
