I think you may have misparsed the sentence due to some ambiguity in the phrasing. The phrase "contacted again telling her" isn't meant to be read "contacted, again telling her"; it should be "contacted again, telling her". In other words, "again" refers to the contact, not to the telling.

partly, technically, yes. Remove the "again" from the quoted bit if you prefer. It is still Round 2 of saying "we'll be there for you", and Round 1 failed once they got what they came for.
