LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the latest episode of 'The Boys' Season 4, titled 'The Insider', The Boys find themselves in trouble when Homelander sends The Deep and Black Noir to attack Butcher and Annie.

Homelander gets angry after discovering the bug Hughie planted in Tek Knight's mansion and orders The Deep and Black Noir to go after The Boys. 

This episode reveals who has been leaking information from The Seven. What will happen next for the leak and The Seven? Let's find out.

In 'The Boys', The  Deep has a change of heart after ending things with his octopus companion. He decides to prove his loyalty to Homelander by offering to do anything for him. Homelander then instructs The Deep to eliminate The Boys.

Black Noir and The Deep wait for Starlight and Butcher to arrive. Deep starts a fight with Starlight, while Black Noir confronts Butcher. Because Black Noir is a superhuman who can fly, he easily gains the upperhand in the fight against Butcher. 

This was a crucial moment when A-Train, an unexpected ally of 'The Boys', entered the battle. Using his super speed, A-Train swiftly overpowered The Deep during the intense battle.

The scene revealed how close The Deep and Black Noir came to defeating both Butcher and Annie. A-Train's timely arrival prevented their near-death experience.

As soon as A-Train arrives at the scene, The Deep becomes deeply confused. A-Train then reveals to The Deep that he is actually the one leaking information from Vought.

This revelation shocks The Deep, who had considered A-Train a close friend, maybe even his best friend among The Seven. However, A-Train adds insult to injury by confessing that he has always hated The Deep more than anyone else.

Enraged by this betrayal, The Deep and A-Train engage in a heated battle. With A-Train's super speed giving him a clear advantage, he swiftly defeats The Deep in their intense confrontation.

Now that everyone knows A-Train is the real leak, things look grim for him and his family. He might have to flee from The Seven, Vought, The Boys, and everyone else to keep himself and his family safe.

We've seen how Homelander reacts to betrayal before; he's ruthless and has killed those he suspected of betrayal. This could mean A-Train will disappear for a while.

He might return for the Season Finale, but one thing is certain: if Homelander catches A-Train, it's likely the end for him.
