Oh no, with all of the information that was coming out, I think it is entirely reasonable. She really hadn't known him very long at that point.
She did the right thing by stepping back but the more she learned about Gabe, the more she should have realized the improbability of him being involved.
I agree that she did not know him well enough to determine his guilt or innocence at first. @Jonetta, I can't remember if her suspicions continued once she did get to know him better.
There was a moment after the attempt on their lives when she could have told them about the hidden files and decided not to. This felt all kinds of wrong to me.

Jonetta wrote: "Yes."Thanks. Yes, she was still keeping it back then. I have to wonder if she was still angry at his behavior toward her earlier that day (it was the same day I think that he accused her of being Mad's mistress). Not a good foundation for trust.
I don't blame her for having doubts about Gabe. After all, he jumped to all kinds of wrong assumptions about her. She didn't know him and he didn't believe her.
So the question is do understand her point of view or should she have known better.How could she know better if she didn't really know him? Everything happens on top of each other.
She at least takes a moment to think it through and form her own opinion about him. She never really gets a clear picture of who he is once they meet in the office and find out who the other is. She doesn't go on gossip or what's in the media. She goes by her gut and what he has shown her to be his true self. And the kernels that Maddox might have dropped here and there.
It would be a serious leap to think that one of two people who’d been friends since they were teens, over 20 years, could suddenly kill the other. There’d have to be a lot of evidence beyond one video to consider him possible of murder.
I thought she was acting rationally. She hardly knew him. And after he treated her so badly when he first met her at the office, she was unsure of him.
