#theboys Six months after the events in Season 3, Band The Boys are a mess: Butcher is out as the leader, and Marvin is in - working under the direction of the CIA. Annie is trying to continue working with the Starlighters, but her refusal to maintain her Starlight persona is having a negative affect on their support. Frenchie is distracted by a new love interest, while Kimiko is trying to come to terms with her past.
Meanwhile, at Vought, things are also a mess: Homelander seems to be going through an existential crisis, while also trying to forge a deeper bond with his son - all while on trial for murder. The remainder of The Seven continue to heed to all of Homelander's commands, leaving him frustrated and seeking out a new ally. With tensions between the Hometeamers and Starlighters coming to a head, it's a messy "business as usual" for both sides.
