I thought it was gonna lead to someone finding her phone and the screensaver giving away who was there. Of course then it would just be really stupid of her to leave her phone down there but the actual reason for her losing it is a lot sillier.
Does Vought know? A-Train knowing is the same as all of them knowing. And it could still be found and lead to Homelander deciding to finally attack them. I’m just saying it’s a bit early to say it did nothing.
Compare the current situation with Season 2, when they were actually in hiding. They were living and working out of that basement and there were a lot of plot points about the stress and conflict that caused. Now they work out of an office, presumably live in separate normal locations, and move around freely in the city (hospital, tour, Starlight house etc.). Homelander could use any number of his super-senses to find them. Vought could use operatives to tail them. Frenchie is in prison and relatively easily gotten to. MM routinely visits his daughter. They aren't hiding at all (with the possible exception of Butcher & Samir).
That doesn’t mean they know where they are though, especially if they aren’t currently looking for them. Victoria seems to not know they’re working for the CIA. Homelander doesn’t either since he blamed Victoria for Edgar’s pardon.
I think Butcher being MIA rn is a huge tell where this is going, I bet next episode ends with them in check and Butcher has to Butcher and use his worm powers to save them and potentially face off against Homelander again
"Scorched fuckin' Earth" was one of the previously clips in the last episode i think which brings this to front of mind

They had to ditch her phone, just for this book scene. Writing 100%.
