The rule change by the Gamemakers in chapter 19 changes everything for Katniss. She can have a real ally in Peeta, as she won't have to kill him in the end. When she hears the change in rules, her first thought is to meet up with him and she seems to genuinely want to be his ally and help him when she realizes he's hurt. Of course, she is also totally aware of the fact that not helping him would mean severe judgement from everyone in District 12 and the importance of playing up their romance. Katniss is always aware of how "on display" she is in the games.
Even though the rule change gives Katniss an edge, it also benefits the tributes from District 2, the only district with both tributes still alive. Katniss is certain that Cato and Clove will be working together from here on out. Since they are from one of the districts that trains their children for the games, this is seriously dangerous news, but Katniss can't dwell on it. She's too busy finding Peeta and nursing him back to health.
