Better late than never folks! On this episode of Small Screen Couch Commentary, Alex and Billy dive deep into The Boys Season 4, Episode 8, aptly titled "Season Four Finale" Buckle up, because this one’s filled with twists, shocking moments, and the usual dark humor that only The Boys can deliver.
The episode kicks off with a VNN broadcast where we learn that A-Train’s new movie has been canceled, much to Ashley’s delight as a tax write-off. The tone quickly shifts as Firecracker, The Deep, and Black Noir star in a cringeworthy "#AllLivesMatter" PSA, setting the stage for the madness to come. The real chaos starts with Hughie unknowingly proposing to a shape-shifting Supe disguised as Annie—a proposal that takes an awkward turn once the Shifter's disguise starts falling apart.
Meanwhile, Butcher faces a personal crisis in the hospital as he's visited by a hallucination of Kessler urging him to unleash the Supe-killing virus. Homelander, ever the drama king, finds a photo of Butcher and Becca in Ryan’s backpack, triggering a laser-fueled tantrum that sends Ryan running.
As the political stakes rise, Homelander drops a bombshell live on Firecracker's show by outing VP-elect Neuman as a Supe. The fallout is swift, leading to a scramble among The Boys to gather dirt on Neuman, only to find their evidence mysteriously gone. The real Annie, still chained up, breaks free in time for a brutal showdown with her shape-shifting doppelgänger, saving Hughie and the team in the process.
In true The Boys fashion, the episode ramps up with twists, turns, violence and mayhem. Things end with us all wondering the fate of everyone, good and bad as well as not being sure to feel about Butcher's actions. It is sad that it is over, for now.
