I was the one who enlarged her lip photo and circled what I thought was either a cold sore or cut.
Please keep in mind that what we're seeing may be a medical issue she might have.
I've seen people get cold sores on their lips when they are stressed; here is more information.
ETA: Posting the photo again for Everyone's reference.

JMVHO.
I don't feel comfortable discussing her potential medical history, but I agree it looks more like a cold sore than anything else, else. And the stress of travel (including the very dry air in the plane) makes people get such a break-out. Your link is great. Also very dry in the Morongo/JT region as well (and lips get sunburned pretty easily, IME).
But I still can't say for sure that it's a cold sore. If it is, I wonder if the two of them were able to discuss it (if they were romantic partners).
I do not see any specific signs of an injury caused by someone else.
IMO.
