Warning… Spoilers below!

On The Boys Season 3 Episode 3, we flashback to Starlight as a kid in a beauty pageant. She clutched her fist in pain for being forced to participate. We’re ripped to the present and Ashley races to Homelanders quarters but he’s nude. She frantically tells him that his points are up! Fans want him to be himself. Furthermore, fans love him and Starlight together. It’s the highest ratings ever surpassing Soldier Boys!

Reaganomics

Mother’s Milk returned to The Boys and the old gang chatted about their next plans. Hughie asked Kimiko to break his arm to Victoria wouldn’t detect why he would be out… so she did!

Starlight warned Super Sonic that Homelander was a murderer and to flee the show. She didn’t want his taunting to lure Homelander into killing him.

The Boys went to visit Grace Mallory and Butcher embraced Ryan. The team was shocked he had a caring bone in his body. We also learned that Soldier Boy murdered Mother’s Milk’s family.

The Boys told Grace about Victoria being the head popper and confronted her about Nicaragua but she played coy. Butcher squeezed the truth out of her and she explained how she trafficked cocaine to fund the Contras from the Reagan Era. It also destabilized Black communities since crack cocaine full those neighborhoods.

We flashback to the mid-’80s and Grace was in charge of Soldier Boy’s misfit team of Sups (Black Noir among them). There, she met a young Stanford Edgar. We finally see Black Noir’s face. Back then, he spoke and even argued with Stan no longer wanting to wear his mask. Butcher excused himself because his newfound powers were acting up…

Popularity Is Power

While, Vought orchestrated an American Idol-style contest for a new team member, Homelander through a curve ball at Starlight. See, she had the final approval on the new pick. Homelander suggested the return of The Deep (the jerk who mouth raped her). Homelander didn’t want the frontrunner, a Muslim woman, inside the Seven. He reminded her of their ratings and that popularity was power. She reminded him of the video.

He dared her to release it because if she did he would take out the American democracy, its defenses, and destroy New York for the fun of it. He preferred to be loved, but he would rathered be feared if she took that away from him. She no longer had leverage over him.

Starlight phones Hughie with the news and he tells her she has to hang in there despite Homelander becoming unstable by the minute and could possibly kill her!

The Ultimate Weapon

Ryan could sense something wrong with Butcher but he lied to him. Grace continued her explanation of being under attack. In the aftermath, Black Noir’s face was brutally burned. She lost hundreds of men in the attack and Soldier Boy was killed. She vowed to make Vought pay for the attack. The government had given them full immunity.

Butcher confronted Grace for knowing of a weapon that could possibly defend Homelander and left. Ryan stopped him but they got into a confrontation. Butcher blamed the kid for his Becca being killed. Ryan’s eyes lit up but he stopped his actions, ripped the chain Butcher gave him, told him he hates him, and stormed off!

Homelander welcomed The Deep back to the Seven, torturing him as they dined on seafood. Homelander brought out an octopus but it was Timothy… his friend. Homelander forced him to eat him.

Frenchie got intercepted due to the actions of his ex-wife. She previously visit him pleading for him to reunite with her. Now she was moving weight for his former boss, Nina, and he denied her. The woman ran off with the drugs and the Russian mafia grabbed him demanding her whereabouts- even propositioning him to take her place.

When Butcher returned, he demanded Frenchie set up a meeting with his former boss because they were going to Russia…

Homelight

Homelander snuffed the final two contestants and accepted The Deep back. Starlight accepted it on television. Homelander dropped a bomb on everyone and told the audience that he and Starlight were together… they were in love. #HomeLight
