hey
to add upon this:
the reason why bow couldn’t be brought back wasn’t because mephone4 was deactivated; it was because he was dead and, upon downgrading into 4s’s body, wasn’t able to receive the proper data to recover her.
it’s shown in the episode that mephone4 isn’t dead, he just had a “glitch” that needed fixing. considering that he woke up just fine and in the same body, he most likely still would have the data to recover lightbulb.
key-word being would.



there’s a lot of implications involving this scene that i don’t really want to get into (at least, not in this post), but this moment implies that mephone4 erased all of his memories and reset his settings.
meaning he probably erased the data necessary to recover lightbulb.
so, yeah, there’s like a 50/50 chance we’re screwed.
I thought that was part of the flashback because you can see the screen protector next to him and MePad still slowly activating outside the cave
