With the gaps in the case of Homelander's compound V, we already know he's given some to Neuman for Zoe, so it's highly likely he has given more out to other people. Whether or not we'll ever see the fruits of that is a different story.

[@iameNeRG]

Theory: Jeffery Dean Morgan's character is another part of Butcher's mind. The devil on his shoulder that contrasts Becca and has powers (the parasite worm). Thats what happened to Ezekiel. Butcher admitted that he actually took some V in hopes that it would cure him. I believe that when he did that, he started seeing these apparitions. He doesn't know obviously.

A Train is definitely screwed. He’s saving people left and right. His redemption arc is rising. Ashley and A Train in Homelander’s place left a smell.

Even tho this episode had a ton of great moments in it, one that hit me hard was Annie talking to Hugie after the fight. To me, it really mirrors how the actress herself, Erin Moriarty, has to deal with everyone commenting on her looks. I've seen so many comments on her of people being like, "ew, why does she look so different. She destroyed her looks! How selfish!" At the same time, seeing comments on Mother's Milk actor, Laz Alonso, being " wow, he looks so different, I hope he's doing OK and isn't sick! Hope he feels better!" It'd be hard not to feel as if no matter how successful the show is, or how well I perform in it, people will only see me as the woman who was once pretty, and no isn't. It's heartbreaking, and I feel that struggle really came out in Annie's speech.

[@rosariomariadelpilarbenavidesm]

I'm glad to see these type of comments for a change instead of this flood of hype-up praises for Homelander ad infinitum. I agree. And also thought that many cast members gave a great performances in this episode that pushed everyone further, not just Antony Starr. Karen Fukuhara acts her ass off every episode without any lines and this wasn't at all some exception. Jack Quaid when Hughie killed that thug and in the final moments when he starts to break down in front of the machine as he contemplates that he's gonna have to let his dad go. Erin fucking Moriarty is underrated as hell and she went through a lot of emotions and layers in this episode, gravitating anger and sadness as how her most private moments where exposed and she's left back at square one. And I can't forget about Frenchie's actor when he came clean to Colin, he managed the same range of emotions as Starlight had to. And yet all we see is "DUDE HOMELANDER BRUH! EMMYS YO! it's so Goddamn annoying and worse when the showrunner only highlights him as well when his entire damn cast delivered in this hour.

Thank god for this episode i was worried for a second the show wasnt going to pick up after the shakey start.

[@stormtraitor6545]

Same. I didn’t hate the first three episodes, but they weren’t as good as episodes from past seasons. This one was fire though!

No, this episode was the true definition of Diabolical. Fudge cake on a Banana biscuit, that was actually disturbing to watch🤣😭

I gotta say, Aaron handled the lobotomy scene a lot better than i expected.

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

As horrified as I am, even I can see Antony Starr deserved to win the Emmy next year.

Hughie left his jacket in his dad's room when he went to get coffee. The V was in his jacket pocket.
