Summary
Despite a few major revelations , The Boysseason 4 ’s episode 6 is the series at its most reductive , play up some of its flaws as it heads towards a termination .

Cast
Elsewhere , Butcher is still at Victoria Neuman ’s farm upstate , torturing her lab tech Sameer to coerce him into making more of theSupe computer virus . He only needs one dose , enough to take out Homelander , but Sameer warn that the Cupid’s disease could turn into an airborne virus that kills all Supes , effectively making Butcher complicit in racial extermination . He ’s forced to librate the choice and this culminates in a surprising reveal .
Butcher Is Doing A Lot Worse Than We Thought
On top of the V-related sickness, he’s also hallucinating
Butcher ’s world gets blown wide heart-to-heart in episode 6 when Jeffrey Dean Morgan ’s character , Joe Kessler , is revealed to be a delusion when he directly addresses Becca Butcher , who has been come out to Butcher in central moment . It ’s a reveal that ’s been telegraphed from the beginning — in the image above , the perspective of Butcher from the detail of horizon of the coffee cup hints at something deeper take place in the scene — but that only slur the surprise a act .
Butcher may be getting quick to make some major ritual killing in the last two episode of time of year 4 .
It ’s now very clear that a part of Butcher is willing to pass over out every Supe in creation if that mean taking out Homelander and this only confirm that the former drawing card of the Boys may be too far proceed . His quest to save Ryan and take out Homelander has essentially alter him and , like the V inside his organic structure , is working like a poison as it moves through his system . Butcher may be getting ready to make some major sacrifice in the last two instalment of season 4 .
So What The Hell Is Going On At Tek Knight’s Mansion?
The Boys' latest mission puts many of them in compromising positions
The festivities at Tek Knight ’s mansion are an easy set - up for a fresh foreign mission . The objective : To bug the rooms so that they can hear what is being said between Homelander , Sister Sage , and various richly - ranking politicians and billionaire type . Hughie is mean to plant the bugs in camouflage as Web Weaver , a drugged - up Supe who is incapacitated by Mother ’s Milk in a peculiarly repellant scenery .
regrettably , Hughie is only capable to plant a few bug before he ’s entice to Tek Knight ’s sex dungeon and tied up for some psychosexual distortion . Turns out , Tek Knight ’s desire for a sidekick is only so he can take out his sadomasochistic fantasies on someone in a superhero suit and , when Ashley joins , we ’re regale to an extended sequence of Hughie ’s torment .
If it were n’t discomforting , it would just be wearisome .
The scene is toy for laughs , but it ’s not all that funny , nor is it as boundary - pushing or shocking asThe Boysseems to think it is . That Hughie is essentially being sexually assaulted is of no care in the scene and while that issue is not outside the show ’s pilothouse , it does feel specially strange in this instance . pepper in with some vicious racialism from Tek Knight ( more " satire"I’m for sure ) , and the whole donjon scene leaves a spoiled taste . If it were n’t discomforting , it would just be boring .
Elsewhere , it is break thatHomelander ’s planactually call for Tek Knight because of the latter ’s empire of private prison house in the United States . Homelander and Sage design to imprison political dissident and Tek Knight is more than willing to help . As the only other revelation in the episode , it ’s a startling one , and it illuminates more of Homelander ’s design that will presumptively come to a head on January 6th , the date the finale is lead up to .
The Boys is a clear parody of superheroes and strip , but Tek Knight ’s Batman parody is one of the most subtly disturbing bit in the whole show .
Elsewhere in Tek Knight ’s star sign , Annie confronts Firecracker , MM has a scare attack , and Kimiko and Annie are able to keep Hughie with the assistant of Tek Knight ’s chained up sex slave . A - Train ’s redemptioncontinues when he runs MM to the infirmary while Neuman formally slope with Homelander in front of the billionaire gatherers . In one last scene , Firecracker essay to labor Sage out of the way by revealing that she can now get boob milk , much to Homelander ’s mortification .
WhileThe Boysseason 4 has turn up entertaining at metre , much of it has felt like the series is spinning its wheels while it crawls towards an end game . The show ending with season 5 looks more like a good idea every day , as this latest episode proves my reverence — there ’s not much more shock value to be pulled from this serial publication and there sure enough is n’t any more incisive satire being calculate at the audience .
Much of the season ’s political commentary ( and this episode , in special ) is a copy - spread of tangible humankind situations — billionaires coming together in wood - paneled backrooms , a joke about one of those valet de chambre who turn down to be alone with a woman who is n’t his wife , Tek Knight ’s explanation of the prison house industrial complex and his elated complicity , Firecracker ’s Q - Anon - esque podcast and her brain - numb supporters . There ’s no jest or comment here , and it ’s certainly not shocking — we ’ve seen it all before .

I have religious belief thatThe Boyshas some succus left in it . Butcher and Homelander ’s inevitable encounter , the former ’s reunion with Ryan ( in whatever form that may be ) , the various fates of all the characters we ’ve descend to roll in the hay over the preceding four seasons — these are all thing that I ca n’t wait to see .
But as it stands right now , the show feels like it ’s act its identity card too close-fitting to the chest when it comes to plot while fling around on - the - nose commentary that ’s as tart as an overused knife . This latest episode solidifies those fear andThe Boyswill have to take significant saltation to head for the hills this groove before the destruction of season 4 .
The Boysseason 4 , sequence 6 is now pour on Prime Video .
