![]() ![]() To make things awkward, Homelander compares himself to MLK, saying “No one can stop me” and that he’s “free at last.” Next, Homelander attends a seafood dinner with The Deep. He speaks with Ryan and, at least partially, lies by saying he blames him for what he accidentally did to Becca (Shantel VanSanten) while defending her from the attacking Stormfront. Then, in a sad development, Butcher decides it’s unsafe to have a relationship with Ryan. Hughie tells Starlight they’ve learned of a weapon that could potentially kill Homelander (and Butcher gets mad at Grace Mallory for having not heard of this weapon). Butcher’s bluesĪfter those freaky moments with Homelander, Billy Butcher vomits during his meeting with The Boys, and Ryan’s super senses detect something’s wrong with him. ![]() Homelander calls her bluff, freakishly noting that he’d then “have nothing to lose,” and ponders what extremes he’d go to in response, suggesting he’d take out the White House and the Pentagon, then New York City for fun. Then, with the return of The Deep, Starlight quietly threatens Homelander, saying she could publicly reveal the Flight 37 video of him not only letting the plane crash but threatening passengers before the tragedy. Homelander rejects Silver Kincaid (Jasmin Husain) due to Islamophobia, which does not sit well with Starlight. Nothing to loseĪside from the Nicaragua flashback, conflicts continue between Homelander and Starlight on their superhero-themed American Idol-esque competition show. In the ensuing chaos, Gunpowder goes nuts blowing things up, Grace Mallory is knocked unconscious, waking up to see Black Noir has had his face mutilated and Crimson Countess says Russians killed Soldier Boy. This is when Crimson Countess proves to be a klutz yet again, accidentally killing some of Grace’s men after believing them to be among the attacking Sandinistas. Also present are a younger Stan Edgar (Justin Davis), a young Black Noir (Fritzy-Klevans Destine), Soldier Boy, Gunpowder, Crimson Countess, and a flying supe named Swatto (Joel Labelle), who Grace chides for almost exposing their position. In the year 1984 flashbacks in Nicaragua, we see a younger Grace Mallory (Sarah Swire) clumsily involved with a new, ragtag group of supes called Payback. That’s when we flashback to her younger days and learn of intricate (yet not entirely specific) details about “Operation Charlie,” Ronald Reagan, the Contras, the Sandinistas, and yes, selling cocaine to minority neighborhoods. Then, Butcher asks about Mallory’s experience in Nicaragua, threatening to expose her CIA agents if she doesn’t cough up some details. Kimiko tells Ryan that she gets scared of her own powers, which creates a bonding moment but also serves as a reminder that she feels remorse for her past violent deeds (even if some of them were defensive). ![]() Numerous other developments take place rather quickly, such as Starlight giving a powerful warning to her ex, Supersonic, about Homelander being an unstoppable killer. This is when we start getting more details about how Soldier Boy killed the family of Marvin T. Later, The Boys visit Grace Mallory to see Ryan. Elsewhere, Frenchie gives Cherie (Jordana Lajoie) a passport. Hughie also has things to hide from his boss, Victoria Neuman, so he has Kimiko break his arm so he can skip work to excuse his absence. However, with The Boys team all reunited, Butcher tries to hide his sickness and the fact that he acquired superpowers from Vought International’s formula. Meanwhile, Billy Butcher, who set out on a fact-finding and revenge mission wherein he murdered Gunpowder, seems to feel sick after using the temporary superpowers gained by V24. We learn that Homelander’s speech actually boosted his ratings significantly. However, this brief flashback stands in stark contrast to the adult Starlight, whose modern stardom is fraught with peril thanks to Homelander, who recently gave an impromptu speech that horrified her.
