00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:13.679
Calarogu Shark Media. Okay, buckle
up, folks, because episode three of
2
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.920
The Boy season four is a doozy. We've got political intrigue, family drama,
3
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.160
and enough unhinged Homelander moments to make
you wonder if the world's most powerful
4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:27.160
soup has finally lost his damn mind. Spoilers ahead. First up, we've
5
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.960
got the Big Vaught Rally, where
Homelander introduces his new and improved seven,
6
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:37.600
complete with everyone's favorite conspiracy theorist,
Firecracker and the mysterious Sister Sage. Homelander's
7
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.920
clearly not thrilled about sharing the spotlight, but he puts on a brave face
8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.600
for the crowd, well until he
has to threaten his own son to smile.
9
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.399
That is Father of the Year,
Am I right? Meanwhile, Butcher's
10
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.640
got a plan to save Ryan by
drugging him and whisking him away to a
11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.719
soup proof safe house because nothing says
I care about you like involuntary sedation and
12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.359
imprisonment. But hey, at least
he's got those delition cookies to tempt Ryan
13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.239
with. Speaking of temptation, the
Deep's octopus lover, Ambrosius, is feeling
14
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.560
neglected and wants to spice things up
in the bedroom or the closet, or
15
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.560
wherever it is they keep that tank. Look, I don't judge. On
16
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.959
the political front, the newly elected
President Singer is wasting no time in trying
17
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:23.640
to ban soups from government positions,
much to the chagrin of VP Victoria Newman.
18
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.719
I'm sure that won't backfire spectacularly or
anything. Back at boys HQ.
19
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.760
Kimiko's on a mission to take down
the trafficking ring that traumatized her as a
20
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.000
kid, and she's dragging a very
high frenchy along for the ride. But
21
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:42.200
when they finally confront the bad guys, Frenchie's too busy hallucinating rubber duckies to
22
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.040
be much help talk about a bad
trip. And then there's poor Huey,
23
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.680
who's just trying to navigate his daddy
issues and learn how to throw a punch
24
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.319
from starlight. But the real drama
comes when he overhears Homelander, Sage,
25
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.239
and Newman plotting their coup during a
truly bizarre vought on ice rehearsal que the
26
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.439
world's most terrifying game of cat and
mouse. As Homelander tries to laser Hui
27
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.799
through the vents. Thank God for
a train and his unexpected heroics. Am
28
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.240
I right? But the real gut
punch of the episode comes when Hughey finally
29
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.520
confronts his mom about why she abandoned
him as a kid. Turns out,
30
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.680
postpartum depression is a hell of a
thing, and she thought leaving was the
31
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.080
only way to survive heavy stuff.
Man. Oh and let's not forget about
32
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.479
Homelander's slow descent into madness, complete
with a shattered mirror and a full on
33
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.759
conversation with his own fractured reflections.
I'm sure that's a totally healthy coping mechanism
34
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.240
and not at all a sign of
impending doom. But seriously, though,
35
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.800
this episode really showcased what The Boys
does best, balancing biting social commentary with
36
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:50.159
character driven drama and just the right
amount of absolutely bonkers superhero shenanigans. It's
37
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.840
a tightrope act that few shows can
pull off, but damn if they don't
38
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.159
make it look easy. So what
did you think of Episode three? Did
39
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.199
it leave you laughing, crying,
or just generally questioning your faith in humanity?
40
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.879
And that's it for this week's recap, folks. This is Joe from
41
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.199
TV in the basement, signing off
until next time. Keep your head down,
42
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.879
your cookies undrugged, and your octopus
lover's satisfied. In the world of
43
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.639
the boys, you never know what's
coming next. Stay super
