These are the fireworks we were promised last week, and they make for an exhilarating watch.
And almost every character winds up there for one reason or another.
Of course, this isnt just 60 minutes of crazy supe sex.
Perhaps Noirs history with Soldier Boy is even darker than we realized.
Its that disappearance that really shakes up Homelander, combined with his insecurity about Soldier Boy.
I want them to love me, he pathetically admits in a conversation with himself in the mirror.
Its that punch in of collateral damage that keeps Starlight and Mothers Milk from embracing Butchers whatever-it-takes ideology.
but Starlight probably makes the right move in turning down Neumans offer.
She wants to do this therightway, and Neuman could never be a trustworthy ally.
Before, it was largely Butcher and Hughie who represented the opposing views.
(Okay, maybe that last one is nothing new.)
Its a creative setting for a climax (pun intended No.
As promised, Soldier Boy does get his payback on the TNT Twins.
The Boysis often so focused on satire and world-building that straightforward superhero battles are few and far between.
Theres Soldier Boy calling Homelander a cheap knockoff and Homelander saying, No.
Theres the moment when Butcher and Homelander each shoot lasers at each other and the lasers meet in midair.
(Id been hoping for aBeam-O-Warfrom the beginning of that matchup.)
The state of MM and Butchers relationship is just as unclear.
She quits the Seven altogether, retiring Starlight and becoming Annie January.
(The silent ending card with Black Noir gets the biggest laugh, though.)
Both MM and Butcher comment separately on how heartbroken Frenchie would be to miss Herogasm.
Nice to see Love Sausages return, with his prehensile tentacle dick making its entrance seconds before he does.
Unfortunately, by the end of the episode, Love Sausages namesake has become a burnt husk.
Another casualty of Herogasm: Termite!
A-Train does have a heart attack from running, but … Im not super worried?
