It’s a Supes world, we’re conscionable surviving in it. In play 4 of The Boys on Amazon Prime Video, The conflict betwixt The vigilante group, Vought International, and superheroes who are thing but continues.

Megalomaniacal Homelander (Antony Starr) is dealing pinch a superhero-sized midlife crisis, and his declining, unhinged characteristic has led to much harm and demolition than ever. The season’s last section sets things up not only for The last play of The Boys but for The 2nd play of spinoff bid Gen V, too.

Homelander’s (rather, Sage’s) plans yet travel to fruition

Homelander pinch his look in his hands looking in The reflector connected The Boys.

Through The season, Homelander clenched his teeth arsenic Sage (Susan Heyward) assured him that her moves were cautiously calculated. Angry that he wasn’t seeing contiguous results, he fired her in The penultimate episode. Then, in a fresh of frustration, he outed Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) arsenic a concealed Supe connected unrecorded TV.

This betrayal leads Neuman to recognize that she’ll only ever beryllium a puppet, and she makes an entreaty to Hughie (Jack Quaid): She’ll thief them in speech for helping her time off pinch her daughter. Hughie wants to springiness her a chance, but The others are unsure.

Calhoun (David Andrews) to beryllium named president. He has decided to state martial law, deputizing Supes who will each study to Homelander, granting him newfound powerfulness and autonomy. The scheme is to region “dangerous” Starlight supporters from The authorities and The streets. “America will beryllium safe again,” Homelander declares.

It’s what Sage had planned each along, she boastfully tells Homelander. Why did she do it? To spot if she could, and because it was “so fun.” Apparently, she’s conscionable getting started. Now, it’s clip for Phase 2.

While Homelander is connected apical of The world pinch a renewed consciousness of purpose, relevance, and power, a post-credits segment sees him learning that Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) is being kept live in a chamber. How this will play into The communicative remains to beryllium seen.

Billy Butcher (probably) isn’t going to dice aft all

The looming interest passim The play was really Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) would past a terminal diagnosis. In an earlier episode, he reveals to Hughie that he took Compound V reasoning it mightiness help, but it only made his symptoms worse. This, however, wasn’t The case. Butcher is now a Supe pinch The powerfulness to unravel lethal snake-like creatures from his chest, for illustration a deadly octopus that Can termination aggregate enemies astatine once.

He uses this powerfulness to support everyone other distant while virtually tearing Victoria in half. “You’re each fucking welcome,” he declares pinch a smirk arsenic he walks retired of The storage leaving The others stunned, covered in blood, and staring astatine Victoria’s bloody, dismembered body.

Why The move in Butcher? Up until this point, he was focused connected doing correct by Becca (Shantel VanSanten) and redeeming Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) from Homelander. But erstwhile he and Grace Mallory (Laila Robins) shape a coup to person Ryan to thief them destruct his father, it goes horribly wrong.

Ryan is angered astatine The specified thought, not to mention being lured into a room and virtually threatened. He throws Grace against The wall, sidesplitting her instantly. The look in his eyes arsenic he peers astatine Butcher while stepping distant suggests Ryan is going down a acheronian path. Butcher has nary prime but to spell diabolical.

What happens in The end?

Through The season, The Boys person been trying their champion to beryllium 1 measurement ahead. With The thief of a fed-up A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), they sewage useful accusation on The way. But they still aren’t person to making a difference.

In fact, they’re moreover further distant from stopping Homelander. The plans person been exposed, A-Train has been outed arsenic The leak, and he’s connected The run. Desperate to prevention her ain life, Ashley (Colby Minifie) has taken Compound V.

A adjacent up of Kimiko looking worried, Frenchie blurred in The inheritance looking astatine her connected The Boys.

The Boys disperse, pinch plans to move connected pinch caller passports and identities until The particulate settles. But Frenchie (Tomer Capone) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) are met by Cate (Maddie Phillips) from Gen V, who, pinch her powerfulness of persuasion done touch, whispers thing in Frenchie’s ear.

Seemingly in a trance, he gets into The backmost of a van pinch her. Kimiko, held backmost by Gen V’s Sam (Asa Germann) looks connected horrified, and for The first clip ever, utters a sound, screaming “no!” astatine The apical of her lungs.

What’s adjacent for The Boys?

The Boys has been renewed for a 5th and last season. Through connections pinch Gen V, which exists in a parallel timeline, there’s much crossover imaginable for The 2 shows.

What we do cognize by The extremity is that Butcher is simply a Supe (and presumably truthful is Ashley) but astir importantly, he has The only remaining spot of The anti-Supe microorganism left, sitting in a vial fresh to go. Sister Sage has much plans for Homelander. With his newfound governmental powerfulness and legion of unsighted devotees, they’re The astir vulnerable duo ever connected The show.

Frenchie whitethorn beryllium forced to do thing he doesn’t want to do, and a Kimiko who speaks could beryllium moreover much lethal than a silent one. Starlight mightiness person to conflict connected her ain while The position of Hughie and MM remains unknown. Firecracker (Valorie Curry) is The sound of The Supes, delivering tearful news reports astir really Homelander is going to alteration The world. With Homelander much irrational than ever, and pinch a bigger level to dispersed his vitriol, there’s nary telling what he mightiness do.
