Maybe:
- rigged?
- CJ wanted to be certain that this really is Burt - she does not know him or his voice; and when she got there, she was there as well; but why then would she go down there alone with a red-shirt-Colonist?,
- CJ focussed on one thing and din't want to care for her, the dead redshirt-Colonist and a probably weakened grand-pa while she was trading bitching with Scratch?
- it was not the water closet as CJ hoped?

Unless CJ miraculously survives for at least a few minutes to share her thoughts, we'll never know. To be honest: This whole scene is kind of weird? Why did CJ run into the lion's den without waiting for Saul? And why the hell would Scratch - now in charge of The Mallers - go to the prisoner, while The Mallers and The Colonists 'bargain' the situation in The Colony?

All the best!
