I'd say it was a misfortune for Trusova and Kostornaya to run for two competitions in 6 days.
When Scherbakova was out with illness it could contribute badly to the mood of other two.
Or it could be a bad day, two days...
How it occurred I'd say Trusova needed one quad to win provided no fails happened. Would she & Pluschenko dare to attempt 4Lo instead of the usual package, who knows.
But the core of her problem is the 3Ax in SP. There is a force-trick needed here.
There is not a single word from AP, Pluschenko or Trusova after the Gala. I'm wonder if she continues her practices or just took her time to rest or injured/sick?
