The Boys – Get Some

By:  Nicole Rodenbaugh

Hughie (Jack Quaid) is covered in Translucent’s blood and is washing himself off in the sink. He’s still in shock at the fact that he killed him. Butcher (Karl Urban) offers to take care of Translucent’s remains. Hughie asks to go home to change clothes. Butcher insists Frenchie (Tomer Kapon) goes with Hughie. They will need to get rid of him in the best way possible since they can only hope to slow down Homelander. Butcher places Translucent’s body into a case and then grabs the case and blows up the building.

Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is nervous walking into Stillwell’s office. Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue) tells Starlight that the woman that was being sexually assaulted when she intervened came forward. As a result, her popularity is rising per marketing. Stillwell and her team show Starlight a new outfit that is skimpy compared to her current super gear. Starlight refuses to wear the outfit. Stillwell tells Starlight she doesn’t have a choice if she wants to be in The Seven.

Hughie is back in his room and he notices all of the The Seven merchandise he has collected. He starts to destroy everything he can see. He picks up a picture of him and Robin and looks at it lovingly. His father (Simon Pegg) enters and asks what’s going on. Hughie tells his dad he leaving for a while. He walks out on his dad who is pleading for Hughie to tell him what’s going on.

Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso) is breaking up a fight in youth detention center. He separates the kids and they go back to playing ping-pong. He walks into his office where Butcher is waiting. He is not pleased to see Butcher, yet Butcher continues to try and convince Mother’s Milk to join him against the supes. Butcher confides in him that they have just killed Translucent. Mother’s Milk asked Butcher if Frenchie will be on the team. Butcher lies and tells him that he hasn’t seen Frenchie in years. Mother’s Milk decides to join the team.

Homelander (Anthony Starr) is in Stillwell’s office. He seems annoyed at Stillwell’s request to sell himself and The Seven to the military. Homelander requests for more responsibility and suggests Stillwell is too busy with her baby to take proper concern for The Seven. He continues to refuse Stillwell’s request, yet Stillwell tells him it’s not an option. He glares towards Stillwell’s baby.

Mother’s Milk and Butcher are in the back of a delivery truck. Hughie enters the truck followed by Frenchie. Mother’s Milk spots Frenchie and immediately lunges towards him. He grabs Frenchie starting a struggle in the truck. Mother’s Milk tells Frenchie that is his fault that Mallory’s grandchildren died. Butcher separates them. The phone rings with the ringtone of “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley. Mother’s Milk answers. It is his wife who he lies to about his whereabouts. After the call Butcher makes peace with Frenchie and Mother’s Milk. They see Popclaw (Brittany Allen). She is entering her building. Her landlord stops her and asks for the rent. Butcher is setting up surveillance equipment. Hughie tells the team he can hack into all of her electronics with cameras and surveillance on Popclaw without all of the equipment. Hughie and Mother’s Milk enter the apartment building dressed as service workers. They tell Popclaw the landlord needs to upgrade her service. She agrees to let them in and they set up the surveillance. While they are leaving A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) encounters Hughie but does not recognize him.

Maeve (Dominique McElligott) is seen at Vought International training. She gets a call and meets Homelander. They are seen chatting and walking casually through the gunfire and police vehicles. They talk to SWAT who tells them the location of the shooter on the scene. Homelander flies up and breaks through a window. Maeve must use the elevator since she cannot fly. She meets Homelander outside the elevator and they break through the door. The perpetrator instantly surrenders. Homelander ignores his surrender and kills him with one punch to the chest. Homelander then picks up a gun and tells Maeve that she knows what he has to do. Homelander proceeds to shoot Maeve to make it seem like the gunman attacked them. Maeve seems disappointed that she went along with Homelander.

The guys are watching Popclaw and A-Train via her cameras. A-Train is nervous that he is going to lose his race for fastest man against Shockwave. He tells Popclaw that he will be kicked out of The Seven if he loses. He asks Popclaw for Compound V to ensure he wins his race. She tells him it is dangerous and last time he killed a woman referring to Robin. Hughie hears this statement. A-Train also tells Popclaw that she cannot come to the race because no one is aware they are a couple. Angrily, she grabs the drugs and hands them to A-Train. Butcher gets excited at the thought that all of The Seven are on drugs. They decide they need to get a sample of the drug for proof.

The guys are now at A-Train’s race. Mother’s Milk gives Hughie a press pass to appear as a reporter. Hughie confides in A-Train that it felt good to kill Translucent. Mother’s Milk warns Hughie that everything comes with a price and that feeling is the same as the high from drugs A-Train is taking. Hughie says he’s ready to pay the price no matter what it is.

Frenchie is climbing through the vents heading to the locker room. When he arrives he sees A-Train’s brother (Christian Keyes) giving him a pep talk. Starlight is signing autographs and steps out from behind the table to take a picture for the young girl. She bends down in her new outfit making sure to cover her chest with her hand. The surrounding fans start to harass Starlight telling her to show her boobs. She tells the young girl to save her money and keep her old Starlight costume. Homelander is seen waving to the crowd and threatens Queen Maeve that if she ever loves anyone else he will kill that person.

A-Train comes out to the track. Hughie spots Starlight and stops her from walking in on Frenchie who was trying to obtain the compound the. Hughie takes her for snacks. Frenchie cannot find the drug. A-Train sees Shocklwave (Mishka Thebaud) come out. He gets nervous and speeds away and speeds back. He took his dose of Compound V. Realizing A-Train just took their sample Mother’s Milk returns to surveillance. Popclaw appears that she might have more Compound V. A-Train wins the race which is over in just one lap.

Mother’s Milk confirms Pop caw is going to take a dose of the drug in her possession. Hughie, Frenchie and Butcher join Mother’s Milk in the surveillance truck. Popclaw is high when her landlord (Christian Bako) comes to collect rent. She offers to have sex with him instead of paying him. She is seen sitting on his face being pleasured by him. She digs her claws into the ground and pushes down until his head explodes. Butcher and Frenchie come to her apartment and offer to cover up the murder in exchange for information.

At the Vought Headquarters Homelander presents Stillwell with the box containing the remainder of Translucent’s body. The Deep (Chace Crawford) was given the box by a porpoise. Homelander tells Stillwell that someone just declared war on The Seven. He opens the box fully to see the lid reads “Coming for you.”
