The Boys Season 3 Episode 3 Barbary Coast Synopsis

Head Writer and Developed by - Eric Kripke

Based on the comic series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson

Executive Producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Episode written by: Anslem Richardson and Geoff Aull

Episode directed by: Julian Holmes

Spoiler filled Synopsis: Following his confrontational birthday speech on live TV, Homelander’s stock has gone up 21 points particularly with disaffected white males in the rust belt. But this boost has given him new confidence as popularity equals power at Vought Industries. Homelander goes against his co-captain Starlight’s wishes and brings The Deep back into the Seven.

But Deep has to pay his dues and show Homelander he’s willing to play ball by having his octopus friend Timothy for dinner. With The Deep’s return and the addition of American Hero winner Supersonic to the team, the Seven are now complete. But Homelander has one twist to announce to the public. He and Starlight are now a couple.

With a clenched fist and gritted teeth Starlight goes with this new storyline. #Homelight Elsewhere Billy, Mothers Milk, Hughie and Kamiko confront Grace Mallory about her operations in Nicaragua and dealings with Soldier Boy, the former head of Payback. While Mallory was running a government sanctioned drug running operation in 1984 a young Stan Edgar brought the supe team with him as his first test of his idea for Supes in the military.

When Russian forces attack Mallory’s camp Edgar’s test quickly fails. Untrained and untested, Payback create havok, killing half of Mallory’s team and their own. Black Noir is left permanently scarred and Soldier Boy is captured, taken deep into Russian territory.

As Butcher takes in the story and the seeming betrayal of Grace Mallory he recovers from his experience with V24. But his supe step son Ryan realises there is something very wrong with him as he detects Billy’s faster heartbeat and smells the V in his blood. Billy lashes out pushing the boy away and telling him it’s too dangerous to see him again.

Meanwhile after being contacted by his old flame Cherie, Frenchie has a meeting with Russian gangster Little Nina. In exchange for keeping Cherie safe Nina wants him to work for her again. Frenchie negotiates his way out of there but Billy needs the Russian connection and forces him to go back and arrange a meeting.
