LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Boys' Season 4, Episode 6 titled, 'Dirty Business' aired on Thursday, July 4. In this episode, the characters face the challenge of dealing with the aftermath of the intense events from the previous episode.

Last week, the team dealt with super-powered animals, Hughie lost his father, and The Seven killed Vought news anchor Cameron Coleman.

This week, the team infiltrates an alt-right cocktail party, which quickly escalates into the season's most intense and explicit episode.

Meanwhile, Butcher struggles to produce more doses of the anti-Supe Virus, culminating in a shocking twist that sets the stage for future episodes.

Here are 5 easter eggs you might have missed in 'Dirty Business'.

In this episode, a new Supe makes his debut when The Boys steals his superhero costume. They intend for Hughie to wear it as a disguise at the party.

In the comics, Webweaver is like a parody of Spider-Man, capable of creating his own sticky webs. He is depicted as quiet, with little known about him, but his death is pivotal in the formation of The Boys team.

Tek-Knight from 'Gen V' has a big role to play in 'The Boys' Season 4 Episode 6

After his debut in 'The Boys' Season 4 Episode 5, this Supe continues to make a big impact in this episode, especially in his 'Tek Cave', a disturbing sex dungeon.

When Hughie enters the Tek Cave, he discovers another person tied up and gagged in a corner.

This character is presumably Laddio, Tek Knight's sidekick in the comics, a parody of Batman's Robin.

Despite being called a "sidekick" by Tek, Laddio is a sex slave who later breaks free to assist The Boys in torturing the Supe.

The Anti-Supe virus plays a crucial role in 'The Boys' Season 4

Throughout this season, there have been numerous references to a virus capable of triggering a pandemic that could potentially eradicate all Supes worldwide.

This virus was initially introduced in the spin-off series 'Gen V'. For more detailed information, you can refer to our 'Supe Virus' guide.

While searching for how to open the door to Tek Knight's dungeon, Kimiko discovers a book by the writer Marquis de Sade.

The unfinished novel is notorious for its extreme content, depicting four men in pursuit of ultimate sexual pleasure. Its inclusion here connects well with the events in the Tek Cave.
