I mean there's heat of the moment, there's character progression, but I just find it odd we've seen so much of a jump to hugging Tilly 3 times in about as many strips.
Like I understand Tilly is the super special author fave right now, but when hugging her dad was such a big deal, and the closest thing from one of her oldest friends was this only ~100 strips ago, I have to raise my eyebrows.
And,
(click to show/hide)Tomorrow's strip is going to make a lot of people upset, and I'm torn between getting the f out of Dodge while the getting is good or staying to watch the fireworks.

I recently been rereading the entire comic via use of the random link and I believe the first time Hannelore hugs someone is Marten right after she gets a job at CoD in this comic
The next hug, I believe, is given to her dad about 400 strips later here
So I think her hugging of Tilly isn't just because they seem to be Jeph's favorite right now. I think the hugs at ECI are heat of the moment emotional hugs. This one truly is because, in my opinion, while Hannelore finds Tilly to be a bit much and overeager, she does care about them as a human and wants them to be treated as one which Beatrice didn't do. As for why Claire and Marten didn't hug her when she was having her freak out and instead used the throw pillows, I think that is because she was already freaking out and hugging wouldn't have helped the situation. I think Hannelore is at a point where she is OK with hugging people she cares about but needs to be in a calm state of mind to do it and needs to be the initiator.
EDIT: This is my first real experience using gender neutral pronouns, and I tried my best. Please let me know if I messed up so I can fix it.
Welu:
You did good with the pronouns.
Hannelore also hugged Sven after their pretend-date.
It's important to remember progress with mental health isn't linear. Being able to hug someone in one circumstance doesn't mean Hannelore can hug everyone without issue from now on, or she should or will be okay with a certain circumstance based on previous moments. She's come very far but unfortunately mental illness is very messy and complicated.

Tilly reminds me a bit more of this Simpsons clip:

Now I'm hoping there's no plot twist like Tilly phoning their dad and/or Bea and going "Just as planned...."

Could be, could very well be, or some variation thereof. There's been no mention of Tilly's security clearance - that suggests Captain* Potter will come back into the picture and there's no telling what she'll uncover. The story may be going back into orbit.
*She must have been promoted by now. That or she was passed over too many times and has been transferred back to the surface.

I kid you not, my first thought was: 'What does Harry Potter have do to with anything??!'
Then I read the sentence again and went: 'Oh... :facepalm: '
