Two possibilities here:
1- The judge issues a "body attatchment". This is a fancy way of saying "I want you guys to find her and attatch her person to this piece of paper and return both of them to me." Simply put, she gets locked up and sits in jail until they reschedule the trial.
2- Since your friend doesn't show up and present a defense, the judge believes what the other half says. If the other half says that your friend owes hundreds of thousands, and your friend isn't there to dispute it (and they can show that your friend has been "duly notified" of the court case and chose to ignore the summons) the judge can find that your friend owes whatever number they come up with....
Go to court. If she's wrong, she's going to lose, regardless if she shows up or not...
