“You know, I once took a Spaniard’s ear for jabbering during a screening of 27 Dresses.” I have so many questions. “So, you lost your cool and hit a man, this is nothing,” Frenchie says. Of course, MM still feels guilt for knocking Todd out cold in last week’s episode. Cue title card.įrenchie hands MM a package containing the “world’s most deadliest nerve agent in a $10 bottle of Starlight’s Wish.” Now, they effectively take down Soldier Boy, or, at the very least, knock him out. Naturally, she breaks free, decimates the guards, and steps outside to freedom. Can he really kill his own son?īack with Maeve, we see our resident Wonder Woman stuck in a transport vehicle. Butcher outlines the rest of the mission - first Noir, then Homelander, “and then we’re finished.” Soldier Boy looks a little uncertain. It’s scary how on point this is.Īfter a brief bit with Ashley and Deep gassing Maeve, we jump back to Butcher, Hughie, and Soldier Boy. Outside of Vought, two groups of protestors have emerged - those with Starlight (#starlightarmy and #metoo) and those who believe Homelander. Ryan just wants someone other than Grace to care about him, and Homelander is playing right into his needs. Homelander says all the right words - and he actually appears genuine, I think - and earns a hug. Homelander may be the boy’s only source of love, no matter how misguided it might be. Ryan clearly feels guilt for what he did and Butcher hasn’t helped in that regard. “You know it wasn’t your fault, right?” Uh oh. “Aren’t you mad at me for what I did,” he asks, referring to accidentally killing his mother, Becca.

Annie and MM are trying to take down Homelander via logical means - social media, public perception, etc. Our main gang has splintered off into three groups. Well, insomuch that beating off into a cup is enough to qualify one as a dad, but we’ll just look past that for now. This week’s episode, “The Instant White-Hot Wild,” comes hot on the heels of last week’s surprising revelation that Soldier Boy was actually Homelander’s biological father (cue dramatic music). With that said, I’m always bummed when a beloved show ends, thus summoning that long period of darkness where I scramble to find something just as engaging to watch. To be quite honest, I think this season of The Boys has been good, not great, but still entertaining. We come to it, at last, the finale of The Boys Season 3.
