You presume that the aircraft went around because the crew forgot to lower the gear.

It is called a 'go around' for a very apt reason, that it involves going around, normally maintaining runway heading before a circuit to land, so the fact that the crew continued in the direction of the landing runway would be normal procedure, they can hardly break off the approach and do a 180 when it is likely that other aircraft are on the approach also.
