Chiming in with all the other voices saying they aren't on the Setup Theory bandwagon and yet can't shake the inkling that SOMETHING is going on in the subtext of this scene. I have no idea what that something is, but there's evidence of it to be gathered, examined, and pondered (as we do).
I originally read it at face value, as a character development/closure moment for Irene (assuming the "her" was Irene herself, awaiting the time when she'd bear another child). But every good scene should be doing more than one thing at a time, right? And we know how careful and skillful MWT's writing is. So, after reading it again, with a sharper eye, I can definitely see where the theorists are coming from.
The fact that she ventured out to the very spot where Kamet liked to hang around (rather than using the safer, more private and aptly named Queen's garden) alone suggests a plot of some kind.
