Firecracker Unveils Starlight's Darkest Past on Live TV
Billy Butcher and the Boys thought they could corner Firecracker into telling them inside information about Sister Sage's plans, but Firecracker decided to load up on that bombshell.
The redheaded Supe decided to admit she once had a sexual affair with an underaged man, which miraculously brought her on the 'righteous path of repentance.'
However, she used this to bring up the worse things Starlight did in the past.
Apart from the big reveal of the rumor Starlight kickstarted that ruined Firecracker's life and career, the once golden Supe of The Seven blinded one of the citizens, a mother, on her first rescue.
Although Starlight admitted it was true to Frenchie and the others that it was an accident and she was still learning how to control her powers back then, Firecracker also disclosed sensitive information about her medical records, something she had been keeping to herself.
So, what did those medical records mention that stirred up Starlight to fly down there?

Starlight Took the Bait — But At What Cost?
Sister Sage orchestrated this public speaking to provoke Starlight. Not only would this destroy her public image, but even Firecracker's nose on live TV.
As it turns out, Starlight's medical records revealed that she had an abortion six months ago.
This raises even more questions, which include whether or not Hughie even knows about this, and how this would affect Annie January's campaign to pass the Superhero Management Act.
When Annie came home to Hughie, he was enraged about how much Firecracker unveiled to the public. This confirms that Hughie knew and was involved in the decision. They were both admittedly not ready to bring a child into the chaos of this world.
Unfortunately, even if that had been solved, Starlight punching the lights out of Firecracker was videotaped live, and Robert 'Dakota Bob' is no longer continuing his partnership that would have supported and passed the 'Supe Control Bill'.
The Boys are somewhat back to square one on trying to pull one over Vought and The Seven.
