Lydia wonders if Allison really believes that they can get home. Lydia isn't sure that she does, but that's not going to stop her trying her ass off, that's for sure. It's a goal and Lydia has always been the type to work better under pressure, deadline, or toward a goal.
She's felt her best friend die once and saw her disappear after; Lydia's going to hold on for dear life and work faster, because she's not willing to let herself go through another loss of Allison.
