But you will get the gasm while watching this episode.

This is undoubtedly the best episode of this show. Absolutely crazy.

This one has everything, from mocking all of Hollywood again, to every character doing the craziest sht, and getting some dope supe vs supe action.

The first scene of this episode is probably my favorite parody they've done about Hollywood and those cringe celebrities. It's even better than that Bepsi parody.

First of all, I'm really liking Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy and this is the first time I'm seeing him in anything. Bravo to the casting director who selected him. His character is complex and he portrays him really well.

A lot, and I mean a lot of things happen in this episode to each and every character, and they are all put into the most intense situations.

Homelander starts to panic when he sees that Soldier Boy is back. He talks to himself and is trying to get rid of his cancer, which is human emotions.

All MM is thinking is killing Soldier Boy and that's clouding his judgment. His and Annie's relationship with Billy and Hughie not only gets better, but it gets a hundred times worse, so it's interesting to see where it'll end up. Vicky also talks to Starlight and threatens her and we're definitely gonna see them fight in the future.

Frenchie, Kimiko, and Cherie are getting tortured as always, and they have a touching scene at the end.

Ashley gets the courage to act more like a CEO and stick it to A-Train, but she's becoming more like Homelander. And A-Train still has beef with Blue Hawk and kills him in a gruesome scene and he passes out too, but it's obvious he's not going to die. He also says sorry to Hughie for what he did to Robin, and his apology actually seems genuine, followed by a punch to his face.

I gotta say, I really hate A-Train after what he did to Alex, but I would really like it if he actually died here, his arc in this season was weird at first, but this is a really good ending for his character and he doesn't really have anything else left, so it would kinda suck if they brought him back, especially after 2 seasons of teasing his heart condition, so I hope his dead dead.

We have the whole orgy scene and they really do my man MM dirty in those scenes. If you know you know.

Oh, and Deep is screwing an octopus.

And these are just the minor ones. Probably the best fight scene of the whole series happens here between Homelander, Soldier Boy, and later Hughie.

And thank god these showrunners and directors know what they're doing, and they know that they should keep the fight between superheroes grounded, literally, and not do Man of Steel and Shazam air fight. Look up "The One Word Ruining Superhero Fight Scenes" on YT to see what I mean.

The fight between these 4 is amazing. Homelander now knows that Billy Butcher and Hughie are an actual problem and barely misses his demise. Black Noire is gone and we have to see if he's a friend of Soldier Boy or if he's gonna join Homelander and help him. My guess? He went to rescue Maeve from wherever he put her and they will also go against Homelander.

The Massacre at Herogasm House and the murder of Blue Hawk were one of the most well-done shocking scenes of the show

Annie telling the world the truth and the #VoughtLiedPeopleDied is gonna change everything and Homelander is probably gonna go full crazy and not care about anything anymore. I'm interested to see what the ramifications of this revelation to the world are, because there are bound to be riots, demonstrations, the government and other countries reacting and trying to control the situation, and the "good" superheroes are probably gonna band together against Homelander and Vought? They probably will not show all of this and I don't expect them to go full World War 3 with this, but it's interesting to see what's gonna happens as a result of this revelation about superheroes.

All of the characters and plot lines aside, I think this episode had a really good direction, great writing (even though I feel like some of the dialogue could've been better and some dialogue needed more lines to feel more natural), amazing production value and special effects and CGI, they really went all in with the budget and I'm glad they did. The Boys is just the best thing Amazon has and they better give them all the budget they need. The stingy big mouse should learn a thing or two from them, but I guess they get all the views and money doing the bare minimum, so no wonder they don't care about their shows.

Just about everything about this episode is top-notch and the best of the best, the direction, the writing, the acting from all of the cast, the cinematography, the music, the actions and special effect, and let's not forget the best mock and parody this show has done and taking on a dump on everyone involved in that cringefest of a video "Imagine".

This feels like a finale, but there are surprisingly two more episodes for this season, so we'll see if they can top this or not.
