(Y'all aren't thinkin' like OFFICERS yet)
Lilly might be thinking like an officer, but Susie is acting like an NCO.
I'm getting mixed signals from this.
Does Agent Pratt want to investigate the alcove before going to meet the Director? That could mean a substantial delay in meeting the Director.
OTOH perhaps it's the decision itself that Brandi wants. The result would definitely be a window into her new agents' thinking processes.
My way of approaching the problem would be for Agent Pratt to immediately hoof it to meet the Director and leave Agent McBride to continue the investigation and report soonest.
But then again, I'm only human.
To my way of thinking, Lilly wants to check the alcove because after 5,000 years you learn at least some of the things on the list.
While Number 13 is intended for enemies, it does teach to (1) check for bodies and (2) double check they are actually dead.
Lilly is not going to tell the Senior Director the two 'civilians' are dead without being certain they actually are?

A good officer/NCO team that have been together do often act that way. At times the NCO has to keep the officer focused on the task at had. Keep them from loosing sight of the objective so to say. The does lead to times when the NCO has to dope slap the officer. It is SUPPOSED to be done where the troops won't see it happen as this can compromise the chain of command. But even that is not written in stone if the officer has gone off the deep end. Remember the Officers lead and plan, the NCO's get it done.
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.
