Tons of great non-United a.m. options out of BWI, but that's a $80 car fare and United offered zero comp. Will United let her dump the outgoing from her itinerary and keep the United return? She can jump on a direct Delta 1-way flight for $220ish, add $80ish for cab fare to Baltimore and it's a wash. Or can United actually put her on that Delta flight out of BWI?
Doesn't hurt to call and ask but the likelihood of UA doing such things (esp for a non-elite) is near zero.

You shouldn't have an issue in dumping the outbound flight while keeping her inbound flight with no charge.
