Weird, weird ESP Now and Serial behaviour

I spelled it that way to let you know it’s odd.
I unplugged my ESP32, Pod 3 with some sensors.
Serial monitor continued. Temperature, humidity, pressure, readingId all kept scrolling. ReadingId = readingId + 1, and it kept rolling. Nothing was feeding data to serial.

Now Pod 1 is offline. BME680 test fails, so it isn’t working.
ESP Now receiver is still publishing Pod 1 data.
