"Don’t you worry, Billy my boy. Daddy’s home."

We've seen a lot of f*cked up stuff since The Boys premiered on Prime Video back in 2019, but the events of this week's episode, "Dirty Business," might just take the fart-cake.

In an effort to get to the bottom of Homelander and Victoria Neuman's plot to replace Robert Singer as president once he’s elected into office, MM, Kimiko, Annie and Hughie make their way to a party at Tek Knight's - the Batman parody Supe introduced in Gen V - mansion, with Hughie infiltrating the bash as Spider-Man knockoff Webweaver.

Hughie agrees to a tour of Tek Knight's "Tek-Cave," and things soon take a turn for the debauched.

Hughie is forced to pose as Tek Knight's new "sidekick," which basically means he is tied up and left at the mercy of a seriously twisted individual's - actually, make that two twisted individuals when Ashley drops in for a bit of fun - extreme sexual proclivities.

Fortunately, the crew - minus MM who is taken to hospital by A-Train after suffering a panic attack - comes to the rescue before any permanent damage (physically, at least) can be inflicted on poor Hughie, and after Kimiko transfers millions of Tek’s money to various charities, the Supe is murdered his own butler, who tells Hughie that Webweaver's safe word was "Zendaya" all along.

Elsewhere in the episode, an imprisoned Frenchie refuses a visit from Kimiko, Firecracker takes drugs in order to produce breast milk for Homelander to drink (imagine someone who has never heard of The Boys reading through this recap), and a popular fan-theory is confirmed with a major twist.

When we return to Butcher and Joe Kessler, who are still attempting to force Sameer to create more of the virus, it's revealed that Kessler has been dead for years, and Billy has been hallucinating his old friend all along!

Sameer explains that he'd need to make the virus airborne - creating a pandemic which would kill anyone with Compound V running through their veins - if it was to be strong enough to take down Homelander. Butcher's dead ex Rebecca tries to talk her husband out of it, and Joe then directly addresses her, confirming that he is also in Billy's mind.

Who will Butcher listen to? There's only two episodes of The Boys season 4 to go, so be sure to tune in next Thursday to find out.

"The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power," reads the official season 4 synopsis. "Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late."

Returning cast members include Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti, along with new recruits Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

The first three episodes of The Boys season 4 will be available to stream from June 13th, with new instalments dropping weekly through to the season finale on July 18.

The Boys was recently renewed for a fifth and final season.

And an even more [frick]ed up twist, Antony Starr bullied Dominique McElligott out of the industry and the showrunners helped cover up what shitty behaviour goes on behind the scenes.

@BritishMonkey - let’s see what comes of this. I didn’t know Dominique left the industry but she hasn’t done anything since Season 3 of The Boys (which was aired in 2022 and likely shot in 2023). So this could certainly confirm the timing.

Now I’m obviously not taking a leakers word on bts drama (they have a destructive incentive behind leaking) but it wouldn’t be the first time I’d have heard or Starr being a jerk on set.

I always assumed Maeve would be back in the final season given how she went out in S3

Web-Weavers's safe-word was "Zendaya", not Tek-Knight's.

A subtle Spider-Man/Tom Holland joke

Did they expect us to think webweavers suit is dumb. Dude looks badass. Would have been nice to have one non goofy, but pshycopathic supe other than homelander for once.

@TheRogue - honestly! The colors were on point and Jack looked really good in it

You forgot to mention (probably intentionally) that Tek Knight, upon discovering Hughie, was going to cut "new" holes into Hughie's flesh for him to... sexualize intimately.

This show man , I think I might have hit my limit with the debauchery & shock value after all this time now finally.

However I feel like there’s some genuine symbolism of a man draped in the American flag sucking the teet of a woman who embodies right wing ideology but I can’t quite put my finger in it lol, subtle this show is not and has never been.

Anyway , I enjoyed the episode still but I do realize some of the complaints I have been hearing about the show spinning it’s wheels right now so hopefully these final 2 episodes give us some forward momentum and tee us up for the final season well!!.

@TheVisionary25 - you were 100% correct about Kessler. It was so obvious that I thought it was misdirection
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 7/4/2024, 3:41 PM
@MyCoolYoung - I thought it might have been the case too but yeah

I do like the devil & Angel thing they have going on him with and Becca for Butcher.

@TheVisionary25 - It was well done. They tried to throw us off by having him appear while that guy was there, but I noticed right away that the scientist wasn’t responding to him at all. I figured it was about to come to a head because of that

OT: The Acolyte is the second most successful Star Wars show, second only to Obi-Wan Kenobi. 👀

@FireandBlood - the writing on the show is still laughable and terrible as hell.

It’s a bummer though - I was really looking forward to the series given the creatives/cast behind it
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 7/4/2024, 2:12 PM
@TheLobster - It’s no Andor, but I’m enjoying it.
TheLobster
TheLobster - 7/4/2024, 2:17 PM
@FireandBlood - Andor is the only Star Wars series I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Mando had a few cool episodes but all that shit with Grogu and poor writing has ruined that series for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I truly don’t get how hard it is for a studio like Disney, that has all the money in the world, to fail at bringing on top tier creatives. They’re failing in Star Wars AND in Marvel to a lesser degree.

@FireandBlood - and yet KK won’t greenlight a second season of Obi-Wan. Just imagine season 2 being centered around Qui-Gon teaching Obi a new lesson each episode
Forthas
Forthas - 7/4/2024, 2:52 PM
@FireandBlood - Can't wait to hear the excuses...

1) "It was half woke. It was the other half that got all the great ratings!"
2) "I was just joking when I said it was woke. Clearly it was not really!
3) "Disney paid people to watch the show and boost the numbers...those woke bastards!"
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 7/4/2024, 3:03 PM
@Forthas - Whatever it is, you already know it’ll be some weak shit after they move the goal posts again.

@Blergh - Saying that, they could actually do that with their Tales of the Jedi animated minis. Could really see that working there. But I’ll be honest, I’m not to upset it isn’t getting another season. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it’s the Star Wars show I’ve liked the least. You could tell it was once a movie repurposed as a 6 hour show.
Blergh
Blergh - 7/4/2024, 3:18 PM
@FireandBlood - I’d love them to redeem themselves with a thoughtful second season that sees Obi learn a valuable lesson each episode through Qui Gon getting him in contact with desert dwellers. Six episode season 2 and then in season 3 Obi-Wan rescues Mos Espa like a Samurai swooping in, having become the wise Jedi we know

@Blergh - "Just imagine season 2 being centered around Qui-Gon teaching Obi a new lesson each episode"

That sounds worse than season 1 imo.

@FireandBlood - I'm not attacking or defending anything here saying this...

...but having more views doesn't surprise me that much as a far easier show to jump on with than others if not been keeping up due to being set a century before any of the films and as far as I'm aware before any other show timeline wise.

Add to that the 'what is all the fuss about' factor and even if not the best of the shows can see how it could more easily expand the audience, at least initialy.

IF however it was as bad as some make out those initial inlated numbers would fall off a cliff faster than normal (ie most show tend to have higher viewing for the first couple episodes then decline, rare it goes the other way).

@FireandBlood - that data is false, my dude
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 7/4/2024, 3:36 PM
@Apophis71 - I imagine episode 5 was enough to attract even the biggest holdouts with the amount of buzz it got online, and as you pointed out, the big ol’ fuss that’s been made about the show prior probably sparked more people’s interest than it did deter them away from the show.

I didn’t expect to do bigger numbers than Mando or Ahsoka, though. So that’s something.
FireandBlood
FireandBlood - 7/4/2024, 3:36 PM
@JuanRGuijarro - I’ll take your word for it 😉
