As soon as he learns of his betrayal The Deep retaliates by killing Black Noir 2. 

Meanwhile, when Ashley expresses her reservations for Sister Sage’s plan she incapacitates Ashley and has Bashley read Soldier Boy's mind. Upon being told by Bashley he has a lead on the V1, Sister Sage leaves Vought Tower to join with The Boys. 

Once The Boys produce more of the virus, Hughie and Annie attempt to plant it at one of Homelander's churches, but are thwarted by Oh Father. The Boys then contact the Legend to learn Bombsight's whereabouts. He directs them to Golden Geisha, Bombsight's former lover, and they use her as bait with Sage's assistance. 

When Bombsight arrives to save her, he is ambushed by Soldier Boy. After an intense brawl, Bombsight gives Soldier Boy the V1 in exchange for the latter depriving him of his powers and immortality.
