I know that she did not say Tu vas l'adorer but why didn't she? Is it an idiosyncratic expression that doesn't require an object?

In spoken French, particularly when it is clear what the reference is, the object pronoun is often omitted. This happens particularly with emotional expressions like adorer, aimer, détester, etc.
Tu aimes le théatre ? -- Oui, j'adore ! (instead of Oui, je l'adore).
