With a liberal, anti-Supe agenda to blame, he’s back on top. She advises going full-MAGA, fake news and all. However, his ennui is short-lived, as Stormfront steps in to help spin the negative press. He momentarily daydreams about lasering a crowd of attendees booing him, which is as terrifying as it sounds. A video of him shrugging off killing a civilian makes the rounds, and a congresswoman dedicated to holding institutions accountable, Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), is on his and Vought’s tail. Stormfront, now celebrated as an unapologetic Supe who takes no prisoners (most of the time, literally), is more popular than ever, and Homelander - being a spoiled brat and glorified baby - is envious of the attention. The worst people you know are in a relationship Jasper Savage / Amazon / Courtesy Everett Collection Eventually, however, Stormfront catches up to him and brutally murders him as Kimiko looks on. Before she kills him, Kimiko’s brother drops a train on Homelander, giving Hughie time to flee.
In the fight, Starlight is nearly forced to vaporize Hughie to prove she’s not a traitor to Homelander, who is menacingly watching it all unfold, drunk on power. Deep (Chace Crawford) - who’s been recruited by a cult while on a bizarre journey to rehabilitate his image after being exposed as a sexual abuser - rides in on a whale in an attempt to save the day, and what follows is an unforgettable scene in which Butcher fashions their speedboat into the largest spear and … I’m sure you remember what happens next. While on a mission at sea, he escapes and Vought commissions the Seven to deal with him.
The superterrorist from earlier is actually Kimiko’s (Karen Fukuhara) indoctrinated brother, who the Boys have been sheltering. Meanwhile, Billy finds Becca’s location and tries to take her to safety, but she decides to stay for her son, whom Vought will not allow out of its custody. Having been raised in a lab, he - very disturbingly - attempts to perform the role of dad, which includes pushing his son off of the roof in the hopes that it will spur him to fly. Naturally, the company doesn’t, and can’t really, do anything about it. While dealing with his unresolved mommy issues (by trying to have sex with a shapeshifting Supe that takes on the form of Stillwell, whom he killed), he terrorizes Becca and his son at their Vought compound. Homelander tries (and fails) to make a home Prime VideoĪs can be expected, Homelander is a horrific excuse for a father figure. First, a CIA contact who the Boys go to for help with a new Supe terrorist is killed. Meanwhile, Starlight and Hughie are - against all odds - goals.Ī new crisis is looming: As if you didn’t think “The Boys” could get any gorier, heads are popping like balloons all over the place. Only A-Train (Jessie Usher) knows of her betrayal last season in helping the Boys escape from captivity, but he’s still in a coma after suffering a heart attack. Sure, Vought CEO Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) is less than thrilled at the fact that his pet project destabilized American democracy in the name of war mongering yet again, but who cares when money’s involved? Starlight, star bright Prime VideoĪnnie, aka Starlight (Erin Moriarty), is still trapped within the Seven, where she’s continuing to work against Vought in secret. On the Homelander front, his diabolical plan to introduce Compound V - the God-defying serum that builds Supes - to terrorists in order to force superpowered individuals into the U.S. The lie ends up costing Vought executive Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue) her life, and now Butcher is the one on the hook for the murder, despite everything about it reading “deranged and murderous supervillain Homelander was here.”Īnd that’s where Season 2 opens, with the Boys in hiding.
Not only that, but she’s been living in a Vought safehouse with her pre-teen son - the product of Homelander raping her - whose existence Vought had kept secret for their mutual safety. The Season 1 finale left off with the revelation that Becca (Shantel VanSanten), Butcher’s wife who was previously thought killed by Homelander, is very much alive.
