Edgar met with Alastair to discuss The Deep coming back to The Seven. A-Train overheard Edgar allude to Stormfront’s racism as the reason why he couldn’t also come back to The Seven. While Hughie and Annie were in the car, A-Train found them and gave them the Church’s information on Stormfront. This information got to the press, and Alastair rewarded A-Train. It would be him going back to The Seven, not Deep.

Hughie and Annie tried to convince Maeve to testify, but she emphatically declined. After the news about Stormfront being a Nazi permeated through the press, she found The Boys and blew up their arsenal. Kimiko and Annie fought her, but it wasn’t enough. However, Maeve arrived and drove Stormfront to fly away.

Not His Fault

When Stormfront arrived, Butcher, Becca, and Ryan tried to escape. However, Stormfront found them and tried to choke Becca to death. Ryan’s laser vision triggered and burnt Stormfront and mortally wounded Becca. With her dying breath, she asked Butcher to promise that he would take care of Ryan and not blame him.

When Homelander arrived at the scene, he tried to get Ryan to go with him. However, Ryan stayed with Butcher. Maeve arrived with the video of them on the plane and threatened to release it if Homelander harmed them. Butcher was able to get Ryan to Mallory to protect him.
