Supposedly Aunt Hannah and certainly Hoffman were close "confederates" of hers, yet she now bullies and threatens them to get them to do what she wants.
She was very close to her stepfather and (without getting into spoilers), she alluded to him that his plan had worked, implying that he had something to do with her resurrection. Yet, once resurrected, she didn't place the call that she did today and reveal herself to him. It's only now that she needs help with Barnabas that she summons him.
