The rebels might be hoping that the portal technology they recover from the Borealis will grant them the ability to prevent the Combine from travelling to Earth once more. Maybe to achieve this ability they are required to access Xen, and restore it to order (somehow).
everybody's gotta die sometime...
tho, i agree, she'll be needed for the start of ep3 at least, for the sake of immersion/dramatics, in response to Eli's death

oh, that and ep2's coming out soon! hyped!
