LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Boys' Season 4 Episode 6 has left viewers reeling with its shocking twists and turns. As the series hurtles towards its climax, the stakes are higher than ever, and the characters are pushed to their limits.

This episode sees Homelander's plans for a political coup gain momentum, but his reliance on Sister Sage's intellect becomes a liability.

As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that Homelander's reliance on Sister Sage's intellect is both a strength and a weakness. While she is instrumental in devising a plan to oust Singer and install Neuman as President, her temporary brain damage renders her useless in critical moments.

Homelander's frustration grows as Sister Sage's antics embarrass him in front of the powerful guests, and he begins to question her value to his mission.

Sister Sage's liability is further highlighted when she fails to impress the guests with her intellectual prowess, instead giggling and eating chocolate cake in the corner.

Homelander's embarrassment turns to anger, and he begins to wonder if she's worth the risk. Will he decide that she's more of a liability than an asset, and take drastic measures to eliminate her?

As the stakes grow higher, it's clear that Homelander will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

If Sister Sage continues to be a liability, Homelander may consider replacing her with a more reliable ally. Knowing Homelander, he might even find a way to exploit her intellect despite her temporary limitations.

The Boys have so far been ineffective in stopping Neuman's rise to power, and it's clear that the consequences of their failure will be dire.

Homelander's desperation and ambition are the driving forces behind his actions, and it's clear that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. But at what cost?

His relationship with Sister Sage is already strained, and his willingness to eliminate her if necessary raises questions about his loyalty and trustworthiness.

One thing is certain: Homelander's ambition and desperation will lead to explosive consequences in the episodes to come.
