We’re barrelling over the halfway hump of The Boys Season 3. (Yes, my friends, Herogasm is coming soon.) So once the blood and guts are mopped up and we’ve gathered our collective sanity after last week’s mayhem, let’s press on with a quick refresher to set the stage for The Boys Episode 5.
In Episode 4, “Glorious Five Year Plan,” Billy, Hughie, MM, Frenchie, and Kimiko took a private jet to Mother Russia courtesy of kingpin Little Nina where they attempted to infiltrate the secret lab thought to contain a super-weapon needed to crush the increasingly psychotic Homelander.
And who can forget that riotous scene where a bloated Russian oligarch suffers death by dildo at his mansion, when Kamiko gets medieval with the gangster’s supe-themed sex toys. The right tool for the job was Black Noir’s "Silent Screamer." Here, nothing ever exceeds like excess!
Victoria Neuman, that head-popping high priestess of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, has a few devilish tricks up her sleeve as she hangs scheming Vought CEO Stan Edgar out to dry at a press conference and shifts blame from Homelander's birthday party outburst to Edgar’s supposed corruption.
Back at the Russian lab, Billy Butcher shoots up more Temp-V and slices through henchmen with his laser eyes like a hot knife through butter. Even Hughie gets into the action by sneaking a vial for himself and taking out some thugs in gruesome style via his new teleportation skills.
The team discovers a secret chamber containing… an ageless Soldier Boy who emerges in a cloud of steam and attacks Kimiko with a red energy burst that destroys her self-healing properties.
Finally, Homelander takes Starlight on a little romantic flight up to a rooftop where Supersonic has been savagely dismembered as a warning to her about ever ganging up against him.
Okay, let’s cozy up to this week’s Episode 5 titled, "The Last Time To Look On This World Of Lies," and see what sort of diabolical mischief is next!

What can we expect from the plot of The Boys Season 3 Episode 5?
The main cliffhanger of Episode 4 was Kimiko suffering severe injuries from Soldier Boy's devastating energy blast. Her fate is up in the air as she's rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment. With Soldier Boy on the loose and operating with some sort of insane super-enhanced weaponry, the team will be lucky to get out alive without more casualties. But they need him!
Victoria Neuman dosed her own daughter with Compound V last week so it will be interesting to see what sort of powers she develops. Starlight and Homelander's fake romance might ramp up before next week's orgiastic “Herogasm” episode as the supes take a Vought-sponsored vacation to a private island retreat where anything goes.
With Billy and Hughie both amped up on Temp-V and MM declaring the team over, how will they keep it together to attain their goals of tracking down rogue Soldier Boy and finding the super-weapon to kill Homelander? On another front, could Ryan reappear to save the day?
