Keep in mind again originally of this season when the weirdest factor we would seen was a person giving himself the Human Centipede therapy?
Yeah, me too.
The Boys retains us on our toes as standard with its newest episode, offering us with scenes nobody requested for and nobody will neglect anytime quickly.
And look, I am not right here to kinkshame. However after that dungeon scene, I feel we have all earned the precise to kink-question.
The episode began off on a darkish word, with Butcher torturing Samir whereas Kessler watched, making an attempt to persuade him to make extra of the supe-killing virus they should cease Homelander.
Plus, Frenchie remains to be in jail, which is a bummer for everybody however particularly Kimiko, who desperately misses her buddy.

Given how damaged and ashamed he was when he turned himself in on the finish of The Boys Season 4 Episode 5, it is no shock Frenchie is not up for guests.
However watching Kimiko be heartbroken is not simple.
Frenchie is the one particular person Kimiko actually has a reference to, and with every part that is been happening, the 2 of them want one another.
The majority of the episode takes place at billionaire Tek Knight’s home.
We knew already from his earlier appearances on the present and its spinoff, Gen V, that Tek Knight (a.okay.a. Robert Vernon) is just about the worst.
However this episode took us down a shady path.
Tek Knight’s celebration, catering to the nation’s richest billionaires and that includes an look from the members of the Seven, seems to be a classed-up KKK assembly, primarily.
It is not the primary time (by an extended shot) that we have heard racist vitriol spewed from the mouths of characters on The Boys.
Alas, it is nonetheless a nightmare, and a number of the quotes within the episode had been primarily word-for-word replications of issues stated by precise American politicians. Horrifying.
The Boys’ huge plan is to infiltrate the celebration by dressing Hughie up in a stolen tremendous swimsuit.
Sadly for him, that swimsuit belongs to Webweaver, with whom Tek Knight and Ashley have a gap — sorry, entire — lot of huge plans.
Hughie manages to put a number of bugs round Tek Knight’s home, however at what value?

That is the half within the episode the place we speak about the place the road is and when it is crossed.
From an goal perspective, Hughie was repeatedly (and gruesomely) sexually assaulted.
Is that only a hazard of the job? He did not appear notably traumatized afterward, however how is that doable?
On the very least, Hughie deserves a elevate. (Do The Boys receives a commission?)
I additionally do not assume I am going to ever be capable to take a look at a cake the identical method once more.
Let’s transfer on.
Butcher continues to deteriorate.
The toll Compound V has taken on him is tough to disregard, and his hallucinations of Becca get more durable and more durable to observe every episode.
However he is decided to get this virus and end what he began, no matter who would possibly get damage within the course of.
Shoutout to Jeffrey Dean Morgan for his impeccable appearing, as all the time.
Except for the completely huge reveal on the finish of the episode (we’ll get to that, don’t be concerned), we’re reminded that JDM is absolutely the king of monologues.
From his days on Supernatural and Gray’s Anatomy, he is all the time delivered monologues with an professional contact.

However his efficiency on The Boys has given us again a smidge of his unsettling and terrifying character, Negan, from The Strolling Useless.
One thing has felt off all season lengthy, and lots of of you eagle-eyed followers caught it way back, too.
That is proper, people. Kessler does not really exist!
Name me a sufferer of Victoria Neumann, as a result of my thoughts is BLOWN.
“Soiled Enterprise” dropped the bomb that each one alongside, Kessler has been a figment of Butcher’s creativeness, similar to Becca.
There have been these of you who noticed this coming after noticing that nobody aside from Butcher had really spoken to Kessler all season, and his cup remained untouched in his first look throughout the season premiere.
You bought a giant outdated fats V’d up mind tumor, you cunt, which is why you are seeing me within the first place.
Kessler
Nevertheless, nothing was confirmed till we noticed Kessler flip to Becca and inform her to close up, proving that every part we had been seeing was occurring inside Butcher’s head.
What a unbelievable reveal it was, too.
It was an M. Night time Shyamalan-level twist, really.
Essentially the most sinister reveal of the episode, nonetheless, was that the powers that be within the nation have plans to construct and use internment camps.
The information was as terrifying because it was unsurprising.
Whether or not Butcher’s plan to make use of the virus (which Samir has reminded him will kill anybody with Compound V of their bloodstream) will work stays to be seen.

But it surely’s clear that somebody goes to should do one thing, and shortly, if they will forestall some very extreme conflict crimes.
And talking of horrible issues nobody desires to see, how great is it that Firecracker took it upon herself to induce lactation so she may breastfeed Homelander?
We have all been lacking that since Stillwell was killed off in The Boys Season 1 Episode 8. (That is sarcasm.)
Anyway.
Earlier than we go: does anybody assume Zendaya watches this present, and if that’s the case, I ponder how she feels about her title being Webweaver’s protected phrase?
With solely two episodes left in Season 4, it appears not possible that the writers have managed to wrap every part up in time for the finale.
That stated, we are able to in all probability count on some intense and action-packed hours forward of us as we spherical out the season.
Within the meantime, tell us within the feedback how you are feeling concerning the season up to now. Who’re your favourite new characters? Are the writers taking issues too far?
We’ll see you subsequent time!
