Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Becca shows up on Butcher’s doorstep and begs for his help. The Boys agree to back Butcher, and together with Starlight, they finally face off against Homelander and Stormfront. But things go very bad, very fast.

Our Take

A loud, violent finale that mostly sticks the landing. The showdown with Homelander and Stormfront delivers real tension, and the season’s political threads pay off in an ugly, fitting way, though a couple of resolutions feel rushed after such a slow burn. Worth your time, even if the last few minutes lean harder on shock than sense.
