Starlight in The Boys S2 speaks about if she would have killed Hughie?

Erin talks about the incident in season 2's third episode when Homelander, portrayed by Antony Starr, corners Starlight and puts her in a position where she must kill Hughie, portrayed by Jack Quaid. Homelander is suspicious that Starlight still has a relationship with Hughie and is working with him to sabotage The Seven.

In order for her to prove her innocence, she has to kill Hughie to show Homelander that she has no attachment to him. The episode shows Starlight's eyes lighting up as she is about to use her power, but Butcher, who is portrayed by Karl Urban, interrupts her.

Talking about the scenario, Erin says that even when she was filming the episode, she always thought that Starlight would not have killed Hughie even if Butcher didn't interrupt. Erin Moriarty states that Starlight seemed to be trying to maintain a solid facade so that she could please Homelander.

So, when the episode shows her eyes getting lit up, it might have meant that she is reaching deep into her mind to figure out what she should actually do. She suggests a hypothetical situation that she would have just blasted off the wall near to Hughie if she had to, so as to save him.
