Kate's knee buckles almost automatically when her arm is twisted further, and she goes with the instinct, one foot and a knee planted on the mat. It's not quite as deliberate as it sounds, pain and reflex largely making the choice for her. But continuing with the momentum, that's a choice, and reaching back with her free hand to grab at Johanna's elbow and pull her along. She'd like to throw her over, but there isn't really enough force for that and it's not a move she can manage on her own strength alone.

She's not totally sure what her move is here, essentially dragging Johanna off her feet but onto Kate's own back, she just knows she's rather have them on equally unstable footing, and maybe if she then pushes up of that one foot and lowers her head Johanna will topple over her.
