Episode Written by Anne Cofell Saunders and Rebecca Sonnenshine

Episode Directed by Eric Kripke

The deal is off and The Boys are on the run. The Pentagon has classified Compound V as “Top Secret”. Frenchie, Mother’s Milk, Hughie Campbel, Kimiko and Billy Butcher are thrown to the wolves (or should I say Supes) by the CIA and the Defense Department signs up The Seven. On his first mission Homelander recovers a sample of V from a jihadist operation in Syria showing them all that Supervillains now exist, As Butcher and Hugh attempt a final hail Mary, they drop in on Mallory for more intel on Vought.

In the meantime, the remaining Boys are picked up by the Feds.  Discovering a possible chink to exploit between Madalyn Stillwell and Homelander, Butcher goes after Stillwell as Hughie goes and rescues the Boys with help from Starlight who realises who she needs to be....an actual Superhero. At Stillwell’s home Butcher takes her hostage strapped with explosives to bait Homelander. But an earlier slip of the tongue puts a different spin on the hostage situation as Homelander knows the truth about Becca and his baby. He confirmed his suspicions by literally squeezing the truth out of Vogelbaum. To Butcher’s surprise his advantage goes as Homelander kills Stillwell by laser beam to the eyes. Homelander saves Butcher from his “what the hell” suicide explosion moment and takes him to the home where Becca has been raising Homelander's son in secret, stunning both Butcher and Becca.

With a phone call from A-Train, who has Hughie’s father held hostage, The Boys realise they have been betrayed and they should never have trusted a washed-up Supe like Mesmer. As they go to ground, Hughie and Kimiko race to save his Dad, crippling A-Train in the process; Mother’s Milk brings his wife, Monique, and their daughter to safety; and Butcher kills Mesmer as face meets washing bowl...repeatedly.

Heads are crushed like melons and a zinc lined trunk is full of surprises as we discuss The Boys Episode 3 in this week’s podcast.

The Boys Episode 3 “Get Some” synopsis

Based on the Comic Series by Garth Ennis

Developed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg

Episode Written by George Mastras

Episode Directed by Philip Sgriccia

While the race of the century between A-Train and Shockwave to determine the world’s fastest man hots up, Hughie Campbell, Billy Butcher and Frenchie race against the clock to clean up the remains of Translucent before Homelander hones in on the missing Superhero. With Translucent bagged and boxed in zinc, Butcher follows up on a lead from him and brings in another former colleague, Mother’s Milk, to run surveillance on A-Train’s girlfriend Popclaw.

As Butcher is denied access to the CIA’s Mallory Files, Frenchie has an epiphany that involves C4 and a tight end orifice. But Homelander arrives to investigate Frenchie’s van and, as they cause an explosion to distract Homelander, another explosion rips through Translucent’s colon; as Hughie detonates the C4 he most certainly does not keep his hands, arms, face, legs and torso clean, as he is covered by the bloody remnants of the formerly translucent man!

As all is caught on camera, Butcher uses this opportunity to blackmail Popclaw as an informant. Back at Vought International HQ the zinc box, found by a friendly neighbourhood beach porpoise, contains a message to the Seven that someone, somewhere is “Coming for you”

The Boys Episode 2 “Cherry” synopsis

Based on the Comic Series by Garth Ennis

Developed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg

Episode Written by Eric Kripke

Episode Directed by Matt Shakman

Billy Butcher and Hughie Campbell bag themselves a superhero, and Butcher knows just the man to help dispatch Translucent. However, as they make contact with Frenchie he is less than happy to see both Butcher and a Supe.

At Vought International, Homelander gets naughty with his x-ray vision and Madalyn Stillwell goes one better as she uses Doppelganger, a blindfold and a camera to entrap and bribe the Chair of the Congressional Defense Committee in order to get the Seven on the Defense Department’s payroll.

Meanwhile, Starlight is forced to team up with The Deep to fight crime and she also begins to dabble in some extracurricular crime fighting that lands her in trouble with Vought PR. Back at Frenchies lair, killing Translucent proves difficult because of his diamond skin, and his absence from Vought International has raised the suspicions of Homelander. While Homelander searches for Translucent, Butcher and Frenchie race to find a way to kill him.

As Butcher is denied access to the CIA’s Mallory Files, Frenchie has an epiphany that involves C4 and a tight end orifice. But Homelander arrives to investigate Frenchie’s van and as they cause an explosion to distract Homelander another explosion rips through Translucent’s colon; as Hughie detonates the C4 he most certainly does not keep his hands, arms, face, legs and torso clean as he is covered by the bloody remnants of the formerly translucent man!

Episode Written by Eric Kripke

Episode Directed by Dan Trachtenberg

“Wee” Hughie Campbell has his heart broken as his girlfriend, Robin, has her heart, lungs, liver, arms, legs and head broken (or more precisely splattered) by a freak curbside accident involving the faster than fast superhero A-Train.

In a world dominated by Vought International’s collection of superheroes known as The Seven (Home-lander, Queen Maeve, A-Train, The Deep, Black Noir, Translucent and Lamplighter) Hughie must struggle to come to terms with the death of Robin in a society that reveres these heroes...that is until CIA operative Billy Butcher shows up! Billy sheds light on the impunity in which The Seven operate and the danger to society of their massive egos and fame. Billy wants to recruit Hughie.

Initially reluctant to assist Billy, Hughie is forced into an uneasy partnership when Billy saves him from the serial misogynist, pervert and all round sex addict Translucent. High-up at Vought International’s headquarters the week is working out mixed for the manager of The Seven, Madalyn Stillwell. While she has managed to replace Lamplighter with a newer, fresher superhero called Starlight, a meeting with the Mayor of Baltimore ends badly as he threatens to reveal Vought’s secret Compound V formula to the media.

Later that day, high above the clouds in his private jet, the Mayor of Baltimore thinks it’s a bird or is it a plane...no it’s the destructive laser beams of Home-lander!
