She was highly emotional at the time and said it in the heat of the moment, but it caused him to (mistakenly) believe that her support of him had never been sincere, and he left the scene instead and allowed everyone to assume he died.

** At the beginning, when Carol is recounting what happened to Laserblast, and later when Venomous is filling in some more details, parts of the Sandwich Incident flashback from "Let's Take a Moment" are shown again.
** In that same episode, both Carol and Gar refer to whatever appeared to have happened to Laserblast and the "donut shop" as having been "shrunk, or teleported, or whatever". Here, when Carol fights Venomous and is asking him where he's been all these years, she says "We thought you were shrunk, or teleported, or...whatever!"

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Turns out that the lab from the Sandwich Incident and everything in it was created by Laserblast himself...including the red orbs that took away his powers (and Greyman's) forever, and the blue and green orbs that shrank and teleported his lab, and all his months of research in it.
