My idea is: for the same reason Leora invited Denis, to make it seem that sooner or later something happened between her and him but in reality they never did anything.
Yes, but we don't hope they will do anything more. It seems clear to me that Leora wants to keep certain distances with Zena, she doesn't want to have another Malia.
No, it's the translator's fault. What I wanted to write is that what you wrote is true and this is demonstrated by the fact that Leora in front of the cameras is not the same person who comes out of the apartment.
