Yes, it was sweet seeing her with her grandson Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and her great-grandson Christopher. But it was a short and non-speaking appearance. She definitely should have appeared in the season finale All Fall Down (episode 10) when Eddie and Christopher were having problems. Especially since Christopher who was mad at his father called his grandparents Helena and Ramon Diaz. Eddie was blindsided when his parents who traveled from El Paso, TX (which is also where Isabel currently lives after moving back there in the fifth season) unexpectedly arrived.
Christopher had called them and asked if he could go back to Texas. This was such a big issue and with Christopher being mad at his father, he didn't want to even want to talk or listen to Eddie. And since Eddie's parents were manipulative and only there so they could finally take Christopher away from Eddie, they were not there to be helpful and supportive to their own son. Which is why Isabelle should have been there. She could have been there as a voice of reason or provide morale support because Eddie needed someone in his corner. That is aside from Evan "Buck" Buckley, who was there to help Eddie and Chris anyway that he could.
Anyway, I just wish the writers had found a way to have included Isabel in a more effective way in the seventh season. Especially since she could have added more to Eddie and Christopher's story in the finale episode. And not to mention Gavin likes to work with the actress who plays Isabel.
