It's a good thing the gang waited a whole day and however long it took for Ryan to recover to go after the V1, otherwise they'd have gotten it long before Homelander showed up they'd have killed each other before Soldier Boy could save them.
Black Noir was just deep into method acting (if the leaks are true that Homelander threatened him, it really doesn't come off here).
Sage is trying to get Soldier Boy to kill Homelander. I guess the smartest woman in the world somehow didn't foresee that the dude with the obvious God complex would continue to have an obvious God complex.
Hughie finally talks about Starlight invalidating his feelings and not caring about- Oh, it's just drugs making everyone angry at each other.
You know, Annie, for someone who's been fighting this regime for a year, you seem weirdly confused as to why people would believe it or fear for their lives defying it.
How the hell is Homelander getting stuck on some random branches?
I feel like Annie reuniting with her lost dad doesn't really go anywhere. It's just there for the sake of giving her something to do and pretend that counts as a bridge between her leaving and coming back.
I don't know who's dumber, the father for not even trying to lie to the cop about ahving Starlight in his house, or the normal human cop thinking he can take down the supe terrorist with a service pistol.
"Shh, Homelander might hear us!" Homelander literally doesn't hear the full on brawl and screaming taking place just below his fucking feet.
Wait, now Soldier Boy's father paid for him to get the v? The father who saw it as a cheap cheat to power that Soldier Boy should have been above?
I'm sorry, Vaught knew this whole time that uranium was supe Kryptonite and had a cell that can hold Homelander!?
"Aha, you have no way of stopping me!" Homelander says as he is very much stopped. Yeah, he gets out later, but he's basically disabled for a long while by a room that's been rotting away since WW2 - a cell made in modern times could probably hold him.
At first I thought they were going with Soldier Boy being immune to the drugs too, since like Frenchie he's also a prolific drug user, but it seems they're going with him falling to the chemicals so Frenchie can bait him into destroying the source, the other V1 test subject Quinn. Soldier Boy even immediately switches to expressing guilt for killing Quinn, crying until Homelander shows up and begs him to kill him.
The fuck, the cop says that the family have an hour before other cops and a supe show up for Starlight, yet now we cut back to Annie having dinner and staying long enough for night to fall.
Annie's back! Good thing Hughie's frustration with her, however brief, was just the hate drug talking and she wasn't around to hear any of it.
Love how the show itself points out that trying to make Homelander God wouldn't sell to America, and then they're just like "But it works anyway."
