One issue I have with Episode 6 and a few prior episodes is that it appears that The Boys is more concerned with creating a viral meme rather than prioritizing substance.
Despite its initial success as a unique superhero story, the series seems to have lost sight of this in recent episodes. However, there is hope for a strong finish to the fourth season as demonstrated in the penultimate chapter, “The Insider,”in Season 4, Episode 7.
In the final scene of The Boys Season 4 Episode 7, Hughie falls for a fake Starlight. Throughout the season, there are numerous instances where Hughie faces unfortunate situations, earning the nickname “Poor Hughie.”
Despite Hughie’s persistent pleading, Starlight reluctantly agrees to put on her costume for a romantic moment. However, Hughie soon realizes that he has been tricked by a shapeshifter. After their intimate encounter, the shapeshifter takes advantage and steals a laptop from their apartment.
Earlier in the episode, Annie is approached by someone who she thought was a fan asking for a photo. Little did she know, it was actually a shapeshifter who was after her genetics in order to transform into her.
Annie is being held captive in an undisclosed location. To make matters worse, Butcher also collapses on the floor of a random bar. The future does not seem promising for The Boys.
Mother’s Milk: Is It Leaving The Boys?
Mother’s Milk is the sole reason The Boys remain a team.
Mother’s Milk is overwhelmed with stress while attempting to save the world, which resulted in a panic attack during the last episode. As a result, he is now considering leaving The Boys permanently as a way to cope with the pressure.
But as Mother’s Milk is contemplating his decision, A-Train suddenly confronts him. He pleads with Mother’s Milk not to give up on fighting, especially now that he has regained his inspiration to be a true hero once again.
Who revealed A-Train as the source of the leak?
The Deep orchestrates a surprise attack on Annie and Butcher, ultimately revealing A-Train as the culprit behind the leak.
Despite Homelander’s attempts to engage him, The Deep showed no interest and instead followed orders to attack The Boys. He arrived with a fake Black Noir, but A-Train intervened and revealed himself as the source of the leak, coming to the aid of The Boys.
Despite A-Train’s attempt to convince Ashley to leave Vought with him and escape, she ultimately decides to stay with the company. However, she does offer him advice to remove the chip from his body and disconnect it from the Vought network before taking any further action.
During this period, Ashley had a strong impact on me. She is acutely aware of her vulnerability as a human and is afraid to venture out. She is well aware that Homelander could end her life in an instant if she were to leave.
This can be seen as a comparison to those working in companies where internal politics play a major role, who often feel trapped in their jobs and rely on their paychecks, knowing that their absence would likely not be noticed.
Despite the lack of progress in her investigation, Sister Sage remains focused on the leak. However, Homelander grows increasingly frustrated with her and decides to team up with Firecracker. Together, they suspect Webweaver of being the source of the leak and confront him. To their surprise, Webweaver confirms their suspicions by lying.
Despite Homelander’s realization that A-Train is the true leak, Sister Sage admits that she purposely gave them false information in an attempt to stop the Boys. However, Homelander remains doubtful and decides to remove her from The Seven.
3. The Final Plan to Kill Bob Singer Explained by Butcher, Hughie, and Annie
After admitting to The Boys that he is hallucinating Joe Kessler and his wife, Butcher reveals that he has Samir captive. This explains why Kimiko’s leg was chopped off, and he sends Frenchie and her to oversee him creating a new virus.
The Boys discover that Vought and co. have sinister plans for January 6th to assassinate Singer during his rally. Despite being aware of the date’s significance, the team continues to uncover these plans. During their investigation, Butcher, Hughie, and Annie engage in a battle with a shapeshifting Supe, but ultimately fail to capture them as they escape.
