The Boys Season 3 Episode 4: Glorious Five Year Plan

Victoria Neuman uses a press conference meant to discipline Homelander to accuse Stan Edgar of blackmail and obstruction of justice, acting on evidence supplied by Homelander. This removes Edgar from control of Vought. Homelander gives Neuman Compound V, which she injects into her daughter Zoe.

To secure Little Nina's assistance locating the Russian facility, Butcher commits Kimiko to kill a Russian oligarch. Kimiko completes the assassination, but after a terrified woman shoots her in the head, Kimiko stops herself from retaliating; she and Frenchie agree to leave the group after the mission.

Hughie secretly takes Temp V after Butcher refuses to give it to him. During the Russian compound raid, Hughie teleports to save M.M. and kills a guard by punching through his torso. The Boys find Soldier Boy alive in a cryogenic chamber at the Russian compound, proving the supposed weapon is Soldier Boy himself rather than a separate device. Soldier Boy releases an energy blast and escapes. Kimiko shields Frenchie from Soldier Boy's energy blast and is badly injured. As the group leaves, Frenchie realizes that she is not healing as she normally does.

A-Train raises Blue Hawk's targeting of Black neighborhoods at a Seven meeting, but Homelander and The Deep reject the proposal to address it. Supersonic subsequently draws A-Train into Starlight's emerging plan against Homelander. Homelander tells Starlight that A-Train informed him of the plan involving Starlight and Supersonic. Homelander kills Supersonic and shows Starlight his body on a rooftop, then threatens Hughie if she disobeys him. This is the episode's final sequence.

The episode ends with Starlight on a rooftop beside Supersonic's body, after Homelander has killed him and warned her that Hughie will be harmed if she disobeys. This final beat leaves unresolved how Starlight will respond to Homelander's threat, the fate of her attempt to organize resistance within the Seven now that A-Train informed Homelander, and the consequences of Supersonic's death.
