The penultimate episode of the Prime Video superhero show's fourth season saw a deadly plot taking shape, as Homelander looked to consolidate his power – however, will he be able to pull off his plans without the help of Sister Sage and her expert strategising?
We expect to find out sooner than later, in what is sure to be a blockbuster finale.
Going forward, Black Noir star Nathan Mitchell has said he wants the series to "go out on as high of a note as possible", while Mother's Milk star Laz Alonso has pitched a movie to round up the show's story – even if he has admitted this seems unlikely to happen.

The official synopsis for the new season says: "The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power.
"Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late."
