Cherry Bomb

Warning: Spoilers
This whole show is a ticking time bomb, holy hell. This episode managed to combine action, surprises, politics, family, drama, relationships and more so flawlessly. First of all, Noir hitting Annie and her mom was so raw and so well done, and then the Almond Joy twist was pretty nuts (lolz sorry).

Miss January and Ashley are humans after all, Homelander and Stormfront are pulling the strings like always and you feel Rebecca's pain in your own heart when Ryan is taken away from her. On the flip side, we meet Butcher's messed up dad.

Victoria Neuman takes a leap into the main story in this episode and we get some humor with Lamplighter and his little nsfw movies. Sad to see him go though, but at least it provided help for Starlight to escape.

You wanted to see more of Black Noir ? You've been served big time here and I hope Maeve has something planned for her own agenda.

Also, I thought maybe Stormfront forced Cindy into killing Susan Raynor, but I don't think so anymore, because Cindy wouldn't help Vought after escaping the hell they put her through and wouldn't kill all these people at the end of the episode being free and all, so the mystery continues...

What an ending by the way, wow I didn't expect that. Butcher got evil for a moment, in which was a terrific scene, talking the doc into helping The Boys... Kinda felt bad for the guy. And of course, Starlight's song at the end was surprisingly calm after a big blow up. It's the calm before the storm, but at the same time, everything is already in motion for what seems to be an incredible finale.

Finally, a thought for Eagle haha. Poor guy probably didn't do anything wrong and got f'ed over. Hope A-Train and Deep move into doing something for the greater good... Maybe meet Edgar and screw Vought from the inside in some way ? Let's see.
