In fact, it’s routinelyStarlightwho savesHughie… and he’s tired of being the damsel in distress.

Butcher asks Hughie to keep the V-24 a secret from the team, and reluctantly, Hughie agrees.

With that secret tucked away, the Boys jet off to Russia.

The oligarch welcomes Kimiko to the party, showing off his vast collection ofsuperhero-themed dildos.

Back in America, there’s some high-stakes political drama going down.

So Neumann moves forward with the press conference…

But when Neuman steps up to the podium, she doesn’t condemn Homelander… she condemnsEdgar.

With Edgar out of the picture, Homelander moves to regain control of the Seven.

We learn that A-Train told Homelander about the coup attempt, and Homelander responded in kind.

But Butcher’s got an ace up his sleeve he took another hit of V-24.

That’s right… Hughie stole some V-24 from Butcher!

That’s right, Soldier Boy is alive… and totally insane.

This super-powered attack leaves Kimiko on the verge of death.

How the hell are they gonna get out of this one?
