For an explosive episode we have Chris back to join Derek and John to discuss Lanterns Episode 5 "Lights Out" in full spoiler filled detail.

Lanterns Episode 5 “Lights Out” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Justin Britt-Gibson

Episode Directed By: Geeta Vasant Patel

Kerry Kane arrived in Rushville in 2007 chased by criminals from Gotham looking to kill her for father's crimes. Faced with an impossible situation, she is saved by Zoe who steps in to snap neck take a pinky and make a deal that some day Kerry will have to stand up and defend Zoe in a similar way.

Back in 2016, John Stewart is unable to get out of his rental car that Hal Jordan crashed into a pole. Zoe finds John but as the car explodes she lets him burn up inside. In hospital, Zoe uses her technology to repair John's burnt skin and makes a similar deal with him, as she did with Kerry, that in return for her help she will need his protection.

Meanwhile Hal meets with Antaan and his group. He tells them William Macon is the Manhunter they are searching for, while he goes after the real Manhunter, Zoe. Antaan's aliens destroy the Macon compound and Antaan faces off with Macon testing him with his alien language and their previous relationship to see if he is actually the Manhunter. Eventually, his resignation of being captured betrays Macon and Antaan removes his heart to confirm he's just a regular human and not his former partner Zoe. He manages to track her down and goes into self destruct mode but Hal uses his lantern ring to contain Antaan's explosive power killing him.

After recovering from his burns, John gets the drop on Hal at his hotel. The two fight until Hal is beaten and broken, but the motel is destroyed by the satellite lasers. Hal protects them both with the ring but John escapes from the rubble only to leave Hal as bait to draw out Zoe and takes her out with a sniper shot to the head.

John takes the crystalline heart of the Manhunter, the lantern and Hal's Green Lantern ring to the Guardian Lianna. She expects him to take over Hal's role but John tells her that it just made him feel empty and leaves them all behind.

Derek and John chat all about the very twisty Lanterns Episode 4 "The Weenie" in full spoiler filled detail. Do we know who the Manhunter is or just get even more candidates for the list?

Lanterns Episode 4 “The Weenie” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Breannah Gibson

Episode Directed By: Geeta Vasant Patel

In 2016, Sinestro gives Hal Jordan information about the Manhunters physiology and also suggests delivering the Manhunter to the Guardians to undermine John Stewart, proving he is unfit to replace him as Earth's Green Lantern. 

Meanwhile back on Earth, as John and Hal continue to hang around Rushville, John is visited by the Guardian, Lianna, at his motel room who tells him the time in now right for him to replace Hal and urges him to take the ring. 

With the Alien Antaan's, 48 hour deadline to identify the Manhunter rapidly approaching, Hal and John's stakeout of the Macon ranch identifies a hidden structure or "Weenie" being guarded by several lookout towers. Suspecting William's benefactor is at his ranch, Hal and John infiltrate the property, after looping in Sheriff Kerry Kane, and discover an armoury of high-tech weapons. After triggering an alarm they are captured and brought in front of William Macon. John is asked to draw William in the nude, while his wife, Zoe is present. During this unusual capture, William reveals quite a lot to Hal and John and also tells them he is protecting the benefactor's identity in exchange for ensuring Rushville's safety. Half and John are saved by the intervention of Sheriff Kane who takes them into custody.

Later, Zoe secretly visits John at his motel room to convince him to leave town but fails and in so doing also reveals a lot more as she extends her stay with John in his room. Leaving the motel with a bounce in her step, Zoe's truck is destroyed by an orbital strike and she apparently dies. 

Hal and John, with the help from Kerry Kane who has been gathering evidence from her husband's files, traces the attack to Atlas, Inc. A company involved in high-tech abattoirs and owned by Hector Hammond. When Hal pushes his bluff he owns up to being a decoy and identifies William as the real Manhunter. 

However, Hal later deduces that Zoe is the Manhunter and that John already knew it. After he gets John to call Antaan to arrange a meeting, Hal jumps from their car and causes it to crash, leaving John inside.

Welcome to the podcast fellow guardians, we are finally back in the DC TV universe with Lanterns Episode 1 "Pilot". The brand new DC series on HBO Max.

Lanterns Episode 1 “Pilot” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof and Tom King

Episode Directed By: James Hawes

In 1996, the young John Stewart and his brothers watch on as Earth's only ever Green Lantern reveals his identity to the world. He is Hal Jordan and he was chosen as the successor of Green Lantern Abin Sur after he crashed his ship and died. He just had to answer one question "Is he afraid?". When John's father arrives home he asks the same question of his son while shooting an apple off his head.

Twenty years later, in 2016, John Stewart is now supposedly being mentored by Hal Jordan to become the next Green Lantern. When John received a cryptic message from a holographic projection of a kinder, younger Hal from inside the Green Lantern ring, it sends the duo to Rushville, Nebraska.

With little support from Hal, John helps the town's Sheriff, Kerry Kane to capture a suspect involved in a mass shooting at their town's football stadium. But Sheriff Kane forbids Hal from joining the investigation, believing the case has no extraterrestrial connection.

Trying to get close to the suspect, Hal gets himself arrested for a bar fight, but the Sheriff keeps him separated in jail until he is bailed out by lawyer, and Kerry's husband, Billy Macon. In return, Hal agrees to meet Kerry's father-in-law William Macon Senior, who arranges for Hal to interrogate the suspect, Waylon Sanders.

During the interrogation, Hal exposes Sanders as an alien; In retaliation the alien detonates a bomb in his body but Hal uses the last of his ring's power to contain the damage.

Ten years further on, in 2026, John Stewart returns to Rushville, where the Macon farm has fallen to rack and ruin. Back at the town's football station, Sheriff Kerry Kane shows him a dead and frozen Hal and John notices he's missing his Green Lantern ring.

Two billion dollars in the bank already and Spider-Man Brand New Day is already one of the biggest hits of 2026 and rightly so. Our full team are finally back to discuss all of this best moments from this years Marvel and Sony collaboration. Make sure you've watched the movie before you jump into our fully spoiler filled chat.

Synopsis for our Spider-Man Brand New Day Movie Review

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretin.

Written by: Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Based on characters by - Steve Ditko and Stan Lee

Four years after Dr. Strange erased Peter Parker from everyone’s memory, Peter has completely committed himself to being Spider-Man. He visits Aunt May’s grave, secretly checks in on Ned Leeds and MJ at MIT, and spends every other waking hour fighting crime across New York. When a tank goes on a rampage, Spider-Man first has to stop vigilante Frank Castle before stopping the tank. Inside, Peter finds a confused woman and something much stranger: an unseen entity that jumps from body to body inside the Department of Damage Control, eventually freeing Mac Gargan, aka The Scorpion. Yelena Bolova tells Peter this isn’t ordinary mind control. It's small potatoes but the attacks are connected to something called “V-Max.”

Stranger things get even more complicated when Ned returns to New York. Peter secretly follows him to a house-warming party, where he also sees MJ — now with another boyfriend. The sight of her sends Peter spiralling, and soon his own spider DNA begins to mutate. With help from Dr. Bruce Banner, Peter manages to create a device to suppress the changes. But when Spider-Man finally tracks the entity to The Scorpion, it possesses MJ and threatens to kill her. Peter discovers the truth: the entity is actually the mutant Jean Grey, who is searching Damage Control for V-Max. Jean takes control of the Hulk, leading to a massive fight with Spider-Man and Frank Castle. They eventually separate Jean from Hulk, but something goes horribly wrong — No Banner, No girl, only Hulk!

Peter manages to calm Hulk and capture Jean, but she mentions the name "Sarah" before passing out. With help from MJ and Yelena, Peter discovers that Sarah is Jean’s missing sister, who was experimented on by Damage Control and Director Metzger. And the mysterious V-Max? It was nothing more than words written on an air-conditioning unit in the room where Sarah died. When Jean learns the truth, her grief explodes into rage, and she takes control of a kilometre of New York and its citizens. Peter fights his way through mind-controlled Hand ninjas to reach her, then allows Jean inside his mind. There, through memories of Aunt May, Peter convinces Jean that she is loved and promises to help her.

But before he can save her, Frank Castle takes a sniper shot at Jean. Peter uses his new abilities to get Jean out of the way — and takes the bullet himself. Jean keeps him alive long enough for the doctors at Metro-General Hospital to save him. When Peter wakes up, Frank helps him escape as New York celebrates Spider-Man as a hero. Peter returns to his anonymous life, until he runs into Ned at a local bodega. This time, Peter introduces himself. He uses their old handshake, and Ned immediately knows how to complete it. For just a moment, it seems like his oldest friend might remember him after all.

After Dirk Leyden recognizes Ben from the war, Silvermane realizes Ben is the Spider and threatens Cat to make him confess.

As the Spider struggles against Lincoln and the corrupt police officers due to previously overusing his webbing at the bar fight, Robbie manages to inject the cure in Lincoln through his eye and the two help him evade the police officers. 

While Ben recovers from the fight, Lincoln thanks the two for helping him, encourages Robbie to find another way to report outside of the Daily Bugle, and leaves the city with his mother.

Executive Producers are Harry Bradbeer, Oren Uziel, Steve Lightfoot, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear

Directed by Alethea Jones

Written by Jack Henderson

Episode Synopsis:

Ogden comes to Ben Reilly's apartment to plead with him to stop Robbie Robertson from publishing his story on Dr. Fabor’s experiments. 

He reveals that he served in the war as well, but his mutation has rapidly aged him. When Ben refuses to cooperate, he drugs him to forcibly bring him to Faber's lab. 

Dr. Faber reveals that Ogden is her son and she's determined to find a cure for the metahumans to help him. While the blood tests on Ben reveal nothing of note Dr Faber begins examining Ben's organs. 

During her operation, Ben has nightmares about the procedures and changes he endured after the spider bite. 

After analysing the samples from Ben’s liver Dr. Faber is able to develop a cure and restores Ogden to his true age. She plans to kill Ben so they can cover their tracks, now that Robbie’s article has been published, but Ogden allows him to escape to repay his services. 

Meanwhile Silvermane and his men invade the facility to find more metahumans to join their ranks. After seeing other mutated soldiers that Faber failed to save and getting shot at by Ogden, Dirk Leyden kills Faber and Ogden. As the resulting fire blows up the lab, Ben manages to evade notice by Silvermane, Flint, Dirk and Lonnie and escapes the laboratory with Faber’s antidote in his possession.

Spider-Noir Episode 5 "Betrayal" Details

Executive Producers are Harry Bradbeer, Oren Uziel, Steve Lightfoot, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear

Directed by Alethea Jones

Written by Jennifer Frazin & Steve Lightfoot

Episode Synopsis:

After Cat Hardy learns that Ben Reilly is The Spider he takes her on a proper date to Millie's Diner. Ben reveals that he got his powers fifteen years earlier during the final days of World War I. 

After discovering German experiments on POWs he was liberating, he was bitten by a mutated half-spider prisoner. From that day on Ben had arachnid DNA.

Armed with an unmissable exclusive story about The Spider’s battle with the electric powered Dirk Leyden, Robbie Robertson reclaims his job at the Daily Bugle. 

He and Janet discover every metahuman had been treated by the same physician Dr. Alethea Faber before developing powers. 

While Robbie interrogates Dr. Faber and her secretary Ogden, The Spider steals medical files proving Faber tried to cure the metahumans but instead aggravated their conditions, and now they will all die if they keep using their powers. 

Meanwhile Flint Marko, now Silvermane's right-hand man, recruits Lonnie Lincoln and together they free Dirk Leyden from prison to join them. 

Now armed with his super powered muscle men, Silvermane warns Ben to keep the Spider out of his conflict with Mayor Morris. 

Worried for their lives, Ben asks Cat to leave the city with him and she agrees, but her former partner Flint Marko confronts her over hiring the fire powered Addison to kill Silvermane without telling him. 

Lincoln informs Cat that Faber believes seeing the Spider could help her find a cure, leading Cat to reveal Ben's secret to Dr Faber and Ogden.

Executive Producers are Harry Bradbeer, Oren Uziel, Steve Lightfoot, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear

Directed by Nzingha Stewart

Written by Tori Sampson

Episode Synopsis:

Cat Hardy confirms Ben Reilly’s suspicion that she hired Addison to kill Silvermane. She reasoned that the club boss wouldn't let her live a happy life with Flint Marko after Silvermane murdered her first fiancé. 

But Flint is listening in to their discussion and, seeing them almost kiss, he feels betrayed and decides to return to work for Silvermane.

As his first job Silvermane uses Marko to intimidate Morris into backing off on his campaign ending Prohibition.

Meanwhile Robbie and Janet interview Lonnie Lincoln at the office. After careful investigation they learn the powers he, Addison and Marko have, come from experimentation on them when they were prisoners of war. He doesn't know much detail but directs them to Dr Faber who has been helping them.

Ben and Cat spend the night at his place, where he reveals that his fiance Ruby died from a criminal he caught seeking revenge. They both leave separately after hearing a metahuman is attacking the Diamond District. Both believe it's Flint Marko.

But the metahuman is a criminal with the ability to absorb and release electricity. Ben arrives in his costume as the Spider and eventually defeats him by shutting off the power in the area to prevent him from storing any more electricity. Once defeated, Mayor Morris uses The Spider's victory to boost his reelection campaign. 

Later that night, after observing the battle in the Diamond District, Cat returns to Ben's apartment and deduces that he is the Spider. She throws herself out of the window and Ben uses his powers to save her, before she kisses him.

Directed by Nzingha Stewart

Written by Megan Liao & Steve Lightfoot

Episode Synopsis:

Ben is hired by Silvermane to find who leaked his liquor transfer. Ben’s first port of call is to the hospital to investigate the officers injured in the sting operation. He finds out that the information came directly from Mayor Morris. 

Meanwhile Robbie Robertson goes to question Lonnie Lincoln about his connection to Flint Marko and Jimmy Addison. But their poor neighborhood is raided also under orders from Mayor Morris

In order to protect the people of the neighbourhood Flint Marko and Lonnie Lincoln use their powers against the cops. Robbie takes photos of the police attack and the powered individual. He tries to sell the story to his former editor, Howard Walters, at the Daily Bugle. He buys the story but has it rewritten to be sympathetic to the police instead of what are now dubbed “Monsters”. 

As they continue their investigation, Janet discovers Addison, Lincoln and Marko were former prisoners of war and Ben also finds out Carmedy lied about being Cat's husband to gather evidence on the Mayor and what he thought was his mistress Cat Hardy. Ben realises it must have been Cat that hired Addison to burn down Silvermane's mansion as she also set up the meeting with the Mayor. 

Flint Marko briefly considers escaping to live a new life with Cat Hardy, but abandons the idea due to his symptoms worsening further. Cat still tries to leave but Ben confronts her at Penn Station, before Winston captures them. 

But Ben was playing the long game as he worked for Silvermane. He frames Winston by using marked bills from Silvermane to pay off Vera Addison for her silence. Silvermane shoots and kills his right hand man Winston, but he cocks the gun and shoots again as the episode ends and the screen goes dark.

Spider-Noir Episode 2 "Tread Lightly" Details

Executive Producers are Harry Bradbeer, Oren Uziel, Steve Lightfoot, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear

Directed by Harry Bradbeer

Written by Christopher Chen

Episode Synopsis:

Ben Reilly has a new case. He has been hired by Cat Hardy to investigate the disappearance of her bodyguard Flint Marko. Even though he suspects Cat is hiding information from him, Ben finds a photo in Flint's apartment. He discovers that Sandman Marko and Flameman Addison were former World War I soldiers in France. He also discovers that both worked as enforcers for The Big Boss Silvermane.

When pressed by Ben for the connection, Cat admits Silvermane owns the Alcove and says she has personal reasons for searching for Flint Marko unconnected to the club owner.

Ben's journalist friend Robbie Robertson follows up on his leads and interviews James Addison's widow and learns she has been spending the money Addison earned from burning down Silvermane's mansion on a luxurious lifestyle, but he gets no leads on who hired Addison for the Silvermane job.

Meanwhile, Marko's condition has worsened as his skin has remained the texture of sand. So he has chosen to hide with his friend Lonnie Lincoln, another member of his World War I squad from France.

After Silvermane's men threaten his secretary Janet, Ben chooses to become the Spider again so that he can intimidate Silvermane into leaving Ben and Janet alone.

But he later learns from Robbie that Silvermane was on his way to an alcohol shipment at the docks, where the police had planned to arrest him for his smuggling operation. So the intervention of The Spider unintentionally saved him from arrest.

Well we are back in the Spider-Verse with Spider-Noir Episode 1 Step Into My Office. With a great opener where everyone involved is fully committed to making an accurate film noir in both black and white and colour. We watched it both ways and discuss everything in spoiler filled detail.

Spider-Noir Episode 1 "Step Into My Office" Details

Executive Producers are Harry Bradbeer, Oren Uziel, Steve Lightfoot, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, Dan Shear

Directed by Harry Bradbeer

Written by Oren Uziel

Episode Synopsis:

In the 1920s, private investigator Ben Reilly once operated as the vigilante "the Spider" but retired after his fiancée, Ruby Williams, died. 

In 1933, Ben and another PI, Donegal, are hired to find criminal Jimmy Addison. When Addison reveals he can set himself on fire and threatens the PI, Donegal shoots and kills him. 

Later Ben Reilly is hired to investigate nightclub singer Cat Hardy, for infidelity by a man named Carmedy claiming to be her husband. Tracking her to the Redcliff hotel, Ben uses his webbing to discreetly stop Cat's supposed lover from assaulting her. While studying the photos he took, Ben and his secretary, Janet, discover that Cat's companion is Mayor Alfred Morris. Unsure about the reasons for the case, Ben decides to drop the case.

Another bombshell hits Reilly when he and Donegal learn that the man who hired them to investigate Addison, a man called Winston, is the right-hand man for crime boss Silvermane, whose mansion was burned down by Addison in an attempt to kill him. 

After learning the police recovered Addison's body, Donegal wants to further shakedown Silvermane for a thousand dollars for the information on Addison. Reilly advises him against it as he heads to the Alcove nightclub to try to make some money out of his photos and blackmail Cat. 

Elsewhere, knowing that Addison is dead Silvermane tortures and kills Donegal to get information on Addison for free, while Cat sends her bodyguard Flint Marko, a man able to turn his body into sand, after Ben. 

Ben decides to abandon the blackmail after learning of Marko’s condition. But the next day, Cat arrives at his office and hires him to investigate the sand man’s disappearance.

Derek, Chris and John return to watch Frank Castle find his purpose again in Punisher One Last Kill the Marvel Special Presentation. Sometimes, as Marvel fans with such a huge breath of excellent shows and movies, you have to watch something that has no real purpose. Despite a brilliant cast and some great action moments we couldn't find much positive to say about this one.

The Punisher One Last Kill Details

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green

Written by Reinaldo Marcus Green with Jon Bernthal

Episode Synopsis:

Frank Castle, as the brutal vigilante known as the Punisher, kills members of the Gnucci Crime Family who are believed to be the last criminals involved in the deaths of his family. 

The Gnucci's former territory in New York City's Little Sicily neighborhood becomes overrun with crime. 

Castle lives in a Little Sicily apartment complex where he is haunted by hallucinations of people from his past. After locking up his Punisher gear, Castle goes to his family's graves to take his life but is stopped by a hallucination of his daughter Lisa.

Castle walks aimlessly through the chaotic streets, haunted by an apparition of his military friend Curtis Hoyle. 

He is cornered by crime lord Ma Gnucci, the matriarch of the Gnucci Crime Family, who seeks revenge for Castle's murder of her husband and three sons. Ma Gnucci reveals that she has placed a bounty on Castle's head, attracting every common criminal in the area. 

Returning to his apartment, he sees a vision of his friend Karen Page, who scolds Castle for his failures but also consoles him.

A small army of criminals enters the apartment complex and attacks innocent residents looking to claim the bounty on Frank Castle. 

When his apartment is set on fire, Frank escapes and ruthlessly dispatches criminals, fighting his way to the rooftop before jumping off. 

He has an opportunity to pursue Ma Gnucci, but instead decides to protect local shop owner Dre, his wife Debbie, and their daughter Charli. 

After the fighting is over, Charli gives Frank Castle a paper rose which he puts on Lisa's grave. Castle decides that he still has work to do as the Punisher.

Now fully tooled up Frank Castle once again returns to the streets with a new Punisher costume and arsenal. He stops a group of thugs from attacking innocent people and kills their leader.

The Second Coming is on its way as your ineffable husbands John and Derek return for Good Omens 3 "The Finale".

This is our spoiler filled discussion so as always make sure you’ve watched the move before listening to the podcast.

Good Omens 3 “The Finale” synopsis

The finale was overseen by the Terry Pratchett estate

Based on characters created for the book Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Teleplay written by: Michael Marshall Smith, Peter Atkins and Neil Gaiman

Episode directed by: Rachel Talalay

Previously on Good Omens season 2 Aziraphale leaves Earth (and Crowley) to go to work for Heaven, where the Metatron informs him that his task, for which he has the perfect skill set, will be to enact the Second Coming.

Now: Aziraphale’s extensive checklist for the Second Coming is finally complete and he assigns Sandalphon to watch the resurrected Jesus and provide guidance to him before his return to Earth. 

Heaven is thrown into chaos and disorder when the Metatron disappears, along with the Book of Life. While the Seraphim are distracted, Jesus goes off to Earth on his own to connect with humanity.

Aziraphale needs help to find Jesus and returns to Whickber Street in Soho where he finds the former demon Crowley, homeless after losing his Bently to gangster Brian Cameron in a game of chance.

While Jesus learns a card trick from Harry The Fish to help him connect with humanity, Aziraphale wins the Bentley back from the gangster. Crowley and Aziraphale take the car to the furthest reaches of the universe trying to locate the missing deity and more of the angels disappear.

Meanwhile Uriel confronts Michael, and Michael reveals that she is responsible for the disappearances. Angered that Aziraphale’s version of the Second Coming is planned to bring world peace, Michael feels she was the only one competent enough to enact the Apocalypse; She burns Uriel's page from the Book of Life, thus erasing her from existence. Michael begins destroying the Book of Life. 

Crowley and Aziraphale find her, and Aziraphale forgives her; overcome by guilt, Michael burns her own page. With that Crowley and Aziraphale are the only beings left in existence back in the bookshop, with God and Satan. 

Crowley and Aziraphale ask God to create another universe without angels, demons, heaven, hell, Satan or God, where humans have free will. God erases the universe completely, along with Crowley and Aziraphale. 

In another universe, professor Anthony Crowley meets bookseller Asa Fell, who invites him to dinner. 

Twenty years later, Fell and Crowley are married and live together in a cottage in the South Downs. Fell wonders if there is anything beyond the universe, and Crowley dismisses the idea, because he has everything he ever wanted.

We got all of our boys together as Chris, Derek and John chat all about the final episode of The Boys Season 5 Episode 8 Blood and Bone. We got the end of it all and wrap ups for all of our favourite character in brutal style and we chat about it all in our spoiler filled podcast.

The Boys Finale Blood and Bone 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: Judalina Neira & David Reed

Episode directed by: Phil Sgriccia

Synopsis: After an emotional farewell to their fallen comrade Frenchie, The Boys need to press their attack on Homelander. Butcher uses Sister Sage to anger Kimiko to see if she can trigger her new power. The pressure works and Kimiko’s explosive power removes Sage’s abilities turning her into an average, stupid human...just like the Boys.

Meanwhile at The Oval Office Homelander prepares to address the nation to proclaim himself the new god on Easter Sunday. With the countdown set, The Boys use their previous experience to infiltrate the White House. But Oh Father has planned for this eventuality and installed a Kill Box on their route through Kennedy’s smelly sex tunnels. 

What he didn’t count on was new President Ashley Barrett having a change of heart. She, with encouragement from Back-Ashley, finds her inner strength and frees The Boys, sending them on their path to take out Homelander before making a run for it. On their route they encounter The Deep. Dejected after Homelander’s latest rejection he blames Annie for everything. She has a knockdown drag out fight with him and sends him flying into the ocean where the sea life gets their revenge, tearing The Deep apart.

While MM and Hughie kill a gagged Oh Father, Billy Butcher and Kimiko take the fight to Homelander. With the help of Ryan, Billy restrains him while Kimiko, with a little help from Frenchie, unleashes her powers removing all abilities from all three of them.

Realising he has no real power, the pathetic, weak, sniveling loser Homelander begs for his life on camera in front of the American people. But Billy’s crowbar unhinges his skull, putting an end to his tyranny once and for all.

Subsequently, President Ashley is unanimously impeached and removed from office and Stan Edgar once again becomes Vought's interim CEO just as he promised MM he would. When Ryan rejects Billy Butcher’s idea of a happy family and his dog Terror dies, Butcher goes back to his original plan and heads to Vought Tower to release the virus. Hughie follows him and, realising there is no way to stop Billy, he pulls the trigger and kills him.

With their plan complete The Boys disband, M.M. renews his marriage vows and takes in Ryan; Kimiko goes to France; and Hughie and Annie prepare to become parents to a baby girl who they name Robin. Hughie smiles as Annie flies off to continue using her powers to be the hero the world needs.
