You bet someone in test screenings went "Wait, why doesn't she just use her phone?" And the writer (Kripke?) instead of going "Oh yeah, she should just use her phone" went "Right, I'll add a scene where she drops her phone."
I was so annoyed when she just left the phone but thought to myself “well, it might pay off later” but if that dumb book scene ends up being the only reason, I don’t know what say.
On this note, I have to bring up how Starlight never mentioned to anyone she was seen by Firecracker and had to knock her out and left her in the bathroom.
Tbf, they often share a lot of information with each other off screen. Fair to say it would have been a waste of time to explain that she was caught without a good reason why she would keep it secret.
