At the end of 'The Boys' Season 4 Episode 3 titled, 'We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying', Butcher (Karl Urban) and Kessler have a heated argument because Butcher allowed Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) to return to Homelander, believing he's a good kid. Kessler insists they must either train Ryan to fight supes or consider killing him, as the world can't handle two Homelander-like figures.

Meanwhile, at Vought Tower, Sage and Deep (Chace Crawford) share an intimate moment, but a bloody lobotomy tool suggests darker secrets to come.

Homelander discovers Ryan met Butcher and becomes furious. Ryan flees to his room as Homelander struggles with his emotions. His alter-egos appear, urging him to confront his troubled past to regain control.

Homelander realizes he still harbors humanity which he must eliminate to become more ruthless.

Hints of an office in a basement suggest Homelander will confront his past experiments in the next episode. Will this make him even more unstable? We'll find out soon.
