What happened in 'The Boys' Season 3?
In the Season 3 finale of 'The Boys', titled 'The Instant White-Hot Wild', Homelander took his son, Ryan, under his wing while tensions escalated between his supporters and Starlight believers.
Kimiko regained her powers with Compound V, and Homelander killed Black Noir for hiding Soldier Boy's true identity. Butcher's plan to take down Homelander led to a brawl between him and Soldier Boy, resulting in Maeve losing an eye.
Despite Butcher breaking his code to save Ryan from Soldier Boy's explosion, Homelander escaped with his son. The finale revealed Butcher has only 18 months to live due to V24 consumption. Meanwhile, Victoria Neuman, the show's antagonist, becomes a vice presidential candidate.
Homelander's season-ending spectacle introduces Ryan to his supporters, but violence erupts when a Starlight follower hits Ryan with a can. Homelander's reaction wins over the crowd, suggesting Ryan may share his father's dark tendencies.
What is the plot of 'The Boys' Season 4?
Season 4 of 'The Boys' paints a grim picture, with the world hanging by a thread. Victoria Neuman inches toward the Oval Office while Homelander's authority grows stronger.
Butcher, grappling with his mortality, faces the loss of Becca's son and his leadership role among The Boys. His team becomes disillusioned with his dishonesty. With the stakes soaring, they must come together to avert disaster.
The official synopsis similarly reads, "In Season 4, 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. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son and his job as The Boys’ leader."
The synopsis further reads, "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."
