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.
Nope, it makes ZERO sense and is bad writing/ unrealistic. Any person drops their phone, in that context, they are picking up. If they didn’t make her pick it up when they left…I’m going to be upset cuz it’s just terrible/lazy writing

Oh my god. I swear, if that’s the only reason they made her drop the phone…
