Later in the episode, Stellar also sprays herself in the face with one and starts choking in the same way as her son.

* ExactWords: When Sunburst comes looking for Stellar Flare, she passive-aggressively wonders if he's come to apologize to her. Instead, he casually answers it's the contrary: he and Starlight found the friendship problem without the help of either parents. Given they realized the friendship problem after said-parents', he's right.
