"Companion's" is correct. There's only one companion, so use an aposprophe s. If there were more than one companion, the apostrophe would go at the end of the s (companions'), which is not the case in this sentence.

Mary's suitcases went to Arkansas; her traveling companion's suitcases went to Colorado. Unfortunately, Mary and her companion were going to California.
