Episode 6 Recap

By DEVASENAN SUBRAMANIPublished about a month ago 5 min read

The Boys' Episode Six At the start of Season 4, Butcher and Joe Kessler attempt to get Sameer, Vicky's baby daddy, to take the Supe virus out of the V-ed-up sheep and strengthen it. While a sick Butcher portrays the good cop, Joe is about violence.

In the meantime, Maid in Manhattan filming sites are sprinkled with Hughie Sr.' sashes as The Boys and Daphne give him the burial he desired. We also see a devastated Kimiko, who feels betrayed because Frenchie surrendered himself without informing her. Not only that, he won't let her see him.

Cameron Coleman is replaced by Firecracker on VNN, and throughout her ridiculous portions, MM tries to meditate. A-Train, who is terrified that Coleman was killed because he was set up as the leaker, interrupts him. When A-Train explains that Homelander is assembling an army of Supes, MM attempts to soothe him but instead becomes terrified.

Sage has also partnered with B-list millionaire Supe, Tek-Knight, who possesses extraordinary senses. MM wants to break into the Federalist Society Party that he is hosting at his home to find out about Sage's scheme. Hughie refuses to leave the mission, despite Annie's wishes for him to take a vacation. Another B-list superhero, Webweaver (a spoof of Spider-Man), is there and has been invited to the celebration.

The story takes a dark turn when we learn that Webweaver receives narcotics from The Boys in exchange for inside information. When the Supe blacks out, MM is compelled to give Webweaver a hard time, and they take his suit. Naturally, Hughie is posing as the towering and lanky Webweaver. After leaving a bug trail, he must lead Tek-Knight to the stables where MM, Annie, and Kimiko are hiding.

They are unaware, though, that Tek-Knight has extended an invitation to the nation's billionaires, dignitaries, Vicky, Homelander, Ryan, Sage, A-Train, and Ashley. Vicky can hardly stomach the sexists who are prejudiced, and at one point, she even fantasizes about blowing up her skull.

We learn more about Sage's plan as she muses over whether the entire thing is worthwhile. She is fully capable of curing cancer, and stopping global warming, and other ailments, but she lacks the authority to carry them out. Because the physicians would not investigate Sage's research toward treatment, that is how her sister passed away from cancer. Sage wants to utilize and dominate these individuals.

Black Noir II is frustrated with his job since no one seems to be paying attention to him or advising him on how to do his role.

Deep is concerned that he could be killed by Homelanders since he intends to go. In an attempt to assist, he tells Noir II all he knows about the original Noir, including the fact that he enjoys killing people. The Deep concludes his speech by admitting that violence is power and that he is aware that others laugh at him, but it doesn't stop them from beating him up.

Hughie returns to the celebration, just managing to bug a few locations before Tek-Knight snatches him. Annie is concerned as he leads him to his unconnected sex dungeon.

The unfortunate man finds out that Webweaver only received an invitation because he consented to be Tek-Knight'smasochistand Ashley's dom when The Boys move in to extract Hughie. Though Hughie is unaware of it, he can easily break out of it by speaking Webweaver's safe word.

Outside, Homelander makes fun of Firecracker for trying to get up in the restroom. When she eventually runs across Annie, she says she's sorry about everything. Annie drugs Firecracker just when her defenses are breaking.

Kimiko and MM encounter Sage somewhere. When she tries to divert his attention by bringing up MM's kid, he shoots her in the head as she rushes to the intercom.

He faints as a result of the stress. Kimiko sees A-Train in a dire state and begs for assistance. Capitulating, he whisks MM off to the hospital. A small Black child sees A-Train assisting someone and grins.

As Butcher sees Becca, he is growing sicker in the interim. She chastises him for abandoning Ryan and harming Sameer. She points out that he is just going to replace Homelander with another person (Ryan), despite his claims that he is rescuing the planet. Then, he meets Joe, who tells him that despite his pretenses, he enjoys harming others since the war changed him. He queries Butcher about who he is.

Due to brain trauma, Sage is unable to function when she returns to the party. When Homelander confesses that he wants everyone in the meeting to call for the 25th Amendment and replace Singer with his vice president, Vicky, he is compelled to explain their strategy. The officials, however, are not persuaded and question how Homelander will manage the fallout and other agencies should they reject the proposal.

Vicky interrupts Homelander and gives them what they want to hear after he stumbles. She will give the others in the room complete freedom to do as they like once she assumes the presidency. Vicky believes this is all part of Sage's plan, as she is just enjoying her cupcake, and everyone applauds.

Since Webweaver adores bondage, it seems incomprehensible that Hughie would be appalled by Ashley's sexual advances, as sensed by Tek-Knight downstairs. His mask is removed after Hughie gives the incorrect response to his repeated requests for the safe word. When Tek-Knight notices that Hughie is locked up, he becomes excited and intends to rape and disfigure him before telling Homelander.

But before he can begin, Annie and Kimiko defeat Tek-Knight when they eventually make it to the dungeon. Due to Tek-Knight'smasochism, the torture does not affect him. But he breaks down when they give him the excellent idea to donate his money to a charity. He discloses that Homelander and Sage intend to turn his jails into camps for internment.

After disclosing all the information, Tek-Knight'sbutler, Elijah, chokes him. Although he has always been encouraging, he has a limit when it comes to jail camps. He says that Webweaver's safe word was "Zendaya" and vows to make Tek-Knight's death appear to be an accident.

After the disaster, MM discovers he suffered a panic attack when he awakens in the hospital. Kimiko is stuck waiting for Frenchie since she has nowhere else to go. As Hughie and Annie hear the bugs, they ponder whether Vicky is aware of the prison camps. As Hughie is affected by the sexual assault and his father's passing, he also starts crying.

Firecracker informs Homelander at Vought that Annie probably murdered Tek-Knight by sneaking in. Since she allowed Annie to go, Homelander thinks she is the leaker. Firecracker, however, makes a long speech in which he claims that because he has given her everything, she will always be devoted to him. She gives him breastmilk that she has drugged herself to produce in order to prove herself.

In the meanwhile, Butcher keeps pressuring Sameer, who admits that his virus will go viral if he creates one powerful enough for Homelander. In the story, Ryan, Annie, and Kimiko are among the innocent Supes whom Butcher is threatening to kill, so she begs him to stop. Joe eventually loses it and yells at her startling Butcher.

As it turns out, Butcher's story of Joe's rescue is entirely fictional. Since Season 4, Butcher has been seeing hallucinations of the actual Joe, who passed away on that final trip. Joe justifies his killing of Ezekiel for Butcher after The Boys Season 4 Episode 6, claiming that since he is Butcher, they share the same mentality of eliminating all Supes.
