The Boys: Season 4 Episode 3 Recap

Who are the new members of The Seven?

Episode 3 of The Boys opens with a Homelander rally where he introduces two new members of The Seven, Sister Sage and Firecracker. Jeffrey Kessler hands Butcher a sachet of halothane to drug Ryan and kidnap him.

Homelander questions Sister Sage’s decision to take Firecracker into The Seven, but she criticizes his decision to include her as her popularity makes it difficult to stage a coup. Annie and Hughie speak to Steve regarding power of attorney but are advised to make peace with Annie’s mother instead.

Firecracker’s supporter at the House of Starlight

Frenchie goes to the house of Starlight, where one of Firecracker’s supporters shows up with a gun, asking where the children are locked up. Colin then fixes Frenchie up, and they go for a kiss, which Frenchie initially seems to resist.

The ‘Supe Ban’

Robert Singer pressures Victoria Newman to take measures to ban supes from all government positions. Homelander has a meeting with The Seven and kicks Ashley out, announcing that Sister Sage will take her place. Sister Sage questions the team about leaked evidence that helped clear two Starlighters from allegations of killing three Hometeamers.

Kimiko seeks retribution

The scene cuts to Frenchie doping when Kimiko approaches him with a plan to kill the people who turned her into a supe. Initially, Frenchie opposes it but then agrees. As they reach the site, Kimiko begins to take down the men there while Frenchie has a wild trip. On this trip, Frenchie comes face to face with all the killings he has done and wishes to reconcile. Kimiko eventually faces a girl she recognizes, but the girl is hostile. Kimiko eventually lets her run away.

MM forms an alliance with the A-Train

MM, Annie, and Hughie try to make sense of the new Seven picks. He claims A-Train is quite vulnerable and could be a good rabbit to have inside Vought. He then meets up with A-Train and convinces him to ally with them.

Butcher reunites with Ryan

Butcher manages to match up with Ryan on a video game and asks him to meet him once. Butcher bakes him cookies laced with halothane. Later, when Ryan arrives, Butcher offers him the cookies, claiming it’s his mother’s recipe, but Ryan declines the offer. They then bond over a few games of foosball, and Ryan expresses how he likes being treated fairly, unlike the treatment at Vought. Butcher throws away the drugged cookies, claiming they had too much sugar.

Uncovering the traitor

Sister Sage and Homelander investigate an employee about the leak, and as soon as she begins to admit it, Homelander lasers her dead. Sister Sage insists that the next words she uttered could have been useful if Homelander wasn’t so petty.

Starlight confronts Firecracker

Starlight confronts Firecracker about the hate she has been spreading. Firecracker reminds her about a beauty pageant contest that happened years ago in which Starlight had spoiled Firecracker’s name and reputation. She reminds her about the rumors she spread, forcing her to quit beauty pageants for good.

Hughie’s close encounter with Homelander

The scene cuts to an event where Hughie and MM show up after taking the lead from A-Train. MM sends Hughie through the air vent to bug the place, but Victoria arrives early. As Hughie is about to bug the place, he realizes Homelander is there and freezes. Victoria arrives, and he is able to hear the conversation.
