The second time, it takes Shepard a little while to figure out what’s going on.
She wakes up in the medbay, and Chakwas is talking to her about the beacon and she thinks, Wait a minute, I was in London... the Crucible... the Catalyst... but maybe that was just part of the vision. So she goes about her business, but everything is too familiar, people have said these things before, done these things before.
In Dr. Michel’s clinic, she stares into Garrus’s face, looking for any sign of recognition, but he just looks at her expectantly, and as soon as she says her piece, he’s off telling her things she already knows.
She doesn’t change a lot, until the end. Standing in the Citadel Tower, she hesitates. Maybe if she saves the Council this time, they’ll believe her. They won’t send her off after geth until she gets killed.
It doesn’t work. They don’t believe her. They do send her off. She dies over Alchera, gasping for air, thinking, Goddammit, not again, and then she’s waking up and rolling off that table before Miranda even finishes

That’s the moment she decides she needs to find an excuse to talk to him privately. She’s not sure what to think. She’d almost concluded, at some point, that she must have died, and somehow had been condemned to spend eternity looping back through the most significant years of her life. But... it seems like he remembers things he shouldn’t, and that gives her a tiny, desperate hope that something else is going on
