We still may find out in a future episode that something was done to her while she was in a coma that allowed her to break free—similar to what they did in the comic. In the comic, she was in a second coma during which Jean Grey implanted a sort of psychic switch that she was able to engage.

I am not sure why David Tennant chose to play this character so straight.. I guess just to differentiate him from Alec Hardy…. Or there is still a character arc yet to…
