I would say this is her very obvious attempt to lay down a 'precedent' for her restraining order hearing next week. Although it is a bit late, she should have been laying the groundwork for awhile if she wanted to pull it off...
I would guess she wants to be able to say, "See, I have BEEN feeling threatened for awhile, I even told my brother about it last week...". She is trying to line up her defenses for whatever you may/may not do next. Keep her wondering....
