UA2418 - returning to gate to pick up mis-connecting passengers (and lie about it?)

I have a question for UA frequent flyers: Depending on the circumstances, will UA return to gate to pickup mis-connecting passengers when it's the last flight of the day? Currently on UA2418. We were already taxiing (and scheduled to arrive on time) when captain announced we needed to return to gate due to some maintenance log issue. Plane door opened, additional mis-connecting passengers boarded ... and apparently no maintenance issue. So now we're ready to go.

I normally fly OW so not familiar with how UA handles mis-connecting flights. Flying UA today as I was out in Loudoun and didn't feel like heading to DCA (to take AA) to fly back to NY.
