In that context, it is a play on words. It’s a smart aleck way of showing her disdain for that subject. She’s using the familiar “you don’t say” to curtly be rude.

Dr. Head picks up on it and in a comical way clarifies by adding the question you don’t say because you won’t say. (of course, the answer is she won’t say because she doesn’t like whatever it is she commented on.)

I think you mean “You don’t say?” which is what someone says when they find something you have said is surprising or unusual.
