Episode written by: Anslem Richardson

Synopsis: Empowered by V1, Homelander kills the president of the United States, dissolves the Seven, and prepares to reveal his divinity. But when he asks Soldier Boy to join him, his father tells him some Home (lander) truths. He just had a wet dream, there’s no way he’s a god. When Soldier Boy tells him he wants to leave, Homelander overpowers and knocks soldier boy out, placing him back into the cryostasis chamber.
The Deep, learning that the Seven is no more, becomes isolated and is approached by a familiar sounding hammerhead shark, Zander. All of the sea life is aware of his role in the pipeline disaster. He is warned that if he sets foot in any body of water ever again he will be killed.
Marie Moreau and Jordan Li from Godolkin University, uncover activity at Vought studios involving Oh Father. Butcher, Hughie, Annie and M.M. investigate the lead, and find out that Oh Father is doing some market research on the introduction of the new god Homelander with his most avid followers.
They are using the world’s best psychics to ensure the followers are true believers. But when most of the group are unconvinced by their new lord and saviours propaganda campaign Homelander orders they get the “VIP treatment”. As they start getting murdered at the hands of the animalistic supes She-line and Dogknott, Annie and MM save the non-believing former Homelanders and bring them to the Gen V crew for protection.
Elsewhere at the studios, Butcher and Hughie are captured by Synapse, one of the psychics and a shape-shifter who takes on the form of Billy’s former partner Joe Kessler. Kessler explains to Hughie that if you stand in the way of Billy Butcher he’ll kill you without hesitation. While discussing this Synapse has learned The Boys plan and the whereabouts of their base from inside Butcher’s mind. He shares the information with Homelander and returns to finish off The Boys, but Hughie distracts Synapse, allowing Butcher to kill him so they can make their escape.
Meanwhile, back at the Boys base, Frenchie has been continuing his longstanding plan to recreate Soldier Boy's depowering ability in Kimiko using huge amounts of radiation. When he can’t solve the puzzle himself he finally convinces Sister Sage to use her superior intellect to stabilise the process. As they complete Kimiko’s final exposure to radiation, they are warned that Homelander has located the base. As he enters the Boys' base, Kimiko and Sage hide in a zinc lined vent hiding them from Homelander’s x-ray eyes, while Frenchie distracts him so he does not investigate the base too thoroughly and find Kimiko and Sister Sage. In retaliation, Homelander fatally wounds Frenchie. After leaving the base empty handed, Kimiko runs to help Frenchie who dies in her arms.
