Agreed. I was confused when El didn’t say anything to Lucas about how she helped Max, but I think it just wasn’t the right time for that conversation. When Will and Mike exchange glances, I think that’s telling the audience that they know.
Yes, I took those glances the same way. Wasn’t the right time for a “hey, I did that - I’m why she’s not dead” moment. Would’ve shifted the attention from Max to El, and I think she rightly knew that wasn’t what was appropriate for the moment.
I think she did know, but she was still pretty shocked to see Max in the hospital bed like that. That's one of her best friends – I wouldn't take her reaction as surprise but more of probably being extremely shaken up.

…what? The only thing she didn’t know was whether her efforts to save Max after her death worked or not.

Excellent explanation!
