What Will Happen in The Boys Season 4, Episode 5?
The official promo for The Boys Season 4, Episode 5 revealed the first look at Vought's V52 Expo, which will be attended by members of the Seven, including Homelander and The Deep. In classic fashion for the series, there will undoubtedly be plenty of chaos and drama at the event.
The trailer also showed off the Boys' visit to a farm where they will be chased down by flying and bloodthirsty sheep. This ought to offer a fresh look at the effects of Compound V with a batch of brutal, super-powered livestock.
Among the major focuses for Episode 5 ought to be the fate of Hugh Campbell Sr. after he was injected with Compound V. One has to wonder what consequences may come from this decision, what powers he may develop, and how life-saving this will prove to be for Hughie's father.
The Boys will finally bring in some intriguing Gen V connections, as the promo saw Butcher uncover a virus that can kill Supes. This was first teased in the spin-off's post-credits scene as Butcher explored the Woods lab where Vought created this virus in Gen V, which may soon prove vital to the Boys' anti-Supe efforts.
Beyond that, three Gen V characters - Sam, Cate, and Tek Knight - had made their way to the Seven Tower in the promo, where they appeared to be with A-Train, Sister Sage, and Homelander. Only time will tell how they fit into the picture and perhaps Sister Sage's grand masterplan for Vought and Homelander.
Starlight could also face ramifications for her brutal and public attack on Firecracker at the end of the last episode. Maybe this could see some of her loyal Starlighters turning against her and possibly even the Seven taking more action against her and the Boys in an act of vengeance.
Speaking of Firecracker, the last episode also saw her hiding a bottle of metoclopramide pills, which are often used for end-of-life care, especially after chemotherapy. This may spark major revelations about her in Episode 5 or a further installment, as she could turn out to be dying or seriously ill.
