” The eight-episode season came to a conclusion with a jaw-dropping finale that set up season four. Insider rounded up the burning questions you may have after watching. Where did Jamie the hamster go?A hamster named Jamie seen in season three, episode four of “The Boys.
“Prime VideoIn the grander scheme of things, the hamster’s whereabouts are probably not a major concern. But the animal does have enhanced abilities because he has compound V in his system. Jamie was last seen busting out of his containment cell in the Russian lab infiltrated by the Boys and saving Frenchie in episode four.
“I have no idea how to get him back into the story, but I do not want this to be the last of Jamie,” showrunner Eric Kripke told Entertainment Weekly. “He’s loose. there’s this super powered, blood-thirsty hamster loose somewhere in Russia.
I’m dying to figure out how to get him back into the story. What is Victoria Neuman’s plan now that she’s the new VP candidate?Claudia Doumit as Victoria Neuman in season three, episode seven of “The Boys. “Courtesy of Amazon StudiosVictoria seems to be playing the long game in “The Boys,” but her real plan, if she has one, remains vague.
Through her alliance with Homelander this season, she was able to get presumptive VP candidate Lamar Bishop murdered by The Deep — leaving the spot wide open for her to fill. So now, the secret supe is one step closer to being in the White House. Kripke offered some insights into her agenda in an interview with Insider, saying: “Anyone who’s a fan of Garth Ennis’ original books knows that one of his biggest plots, kind of towards the back half of the books, is a Dakota Bob presidency with a Neuman vice president who is a secret Vought plant and obviously conspiring to make themselves president.
“”Even though we’ve taken a roundabout way to get there, we’ve sort of manipulated those chess pieces into position so we can start telling that story,” he added. Is Butcher really going to die in a couple of months?Karl Urban as Butcher in the season three finale of “The Boys. “Prime VideoButcher’s repeated use of temporary compound V, an untested Vought drug that gives him powers for 24 hours, caught up to him by the finale.
After the fight sequence, Butcher fainted and woke up in the hospital. The doctor told him that the drained the fluid from his body, but attempting further treatment would significantly affect his way of life without necessarily extending the time he has. Butcher was told that he had maybe 12 months left to live, 18 if they were being optimistic.
Butcher, seemingly unfazed, grabbed a cigarette and told the doctor to leave him alone. He was last seen returning to the Boys’ HQ and telling them that they had to eliminate Victoria Neuman. Since temporary compound V is such a new substance, there likely isn’t an antidote.
If Butcher’s time really is limited, he probably won’t go down without a fight. What kinds of side effects will Hughie experience due to his use of V24?Jac Quaid as Hughie Campbell in the season three finale of “The Boys. “Prime VideoHughie didn’t give himself as many doses as Butcher did, but he was shown to have some side effects, like vomiting and his ear bleeding.
When Annie snuck into the Vought lab in episode seven, she saw a slew of side effects jotted on a notepad, including seizures, legions, atrophy of the cortex, and hyper-accelerated malignant tumors. Hughie stopped using the drug after Annie told him about the side effects, but how much long-term damage, if any, has V24 already done to him? Is Maeve truly free and gone for good?Dominique McElligott as Queen Maeve in the season three finale of “The Boys. “Prime VideoAfter being left powerless because of her exposure to Soldier Boy’s blast in the finale, Maeve finds herself on a slow road to recovery.
That involves leaving town with Elena for a place where Homelander can’t find her, like a farm. Maeve is believed to be dead by the public, but there are a handful of people who know the truth. The Boys know that she’s still alive, but so do Vought’s Ashley Barrett and Anika from the crime analytics division.
The two characters saw surveillance footage of Maeve being rescued by the Boys and put into a van. But Ashley deleted the video, so it seems like even she knew that it would be better for people to think Maeve died. But is Maeve free and out of the clear? Earlier in the season, Homelander told Maeve that he wanted to have her eggs harvested so they could create perfect, superhero children.
Plus, Homelander has already shown that he has ways to track down people who are missing. Will Homelander really be able to accept that Maeve died? Is this the last we’ll see of Soldier Boy?Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy in the season three finale of “The Boys. “Prime VideoAfter the big fight sequence in the finale, Soldier Boy is seen being put back on ice in a chamber overseen by Grace.
It’s unclear where exactly she has him stored, but it’s probably not Russia. Because Soldier Boy wasn’t killed off, the door is open for him to return. But it seems unlikely (for the time being, at least) because the whole reason The Boys took him out of the cryo-chamber was so that he could kill Homelander — which obviously didn’t happen.
Soldier Boy’s own mission this season was to track down his traitorous team members from Payback and kill them all for what happened in Nicaragua in 1984. But they’ve all been eliminated, which leaves Soldier Boy with no purpose. Is someone else going to take Black Noir’s place in The Seven or will another character take over his suit?Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir in season three of “The Boys.
“Prime VideoHomelander murdered Black Noir in the finale after learning that the enigmatic supe knew that he had a father out there who was alive (Soldier Boy). Technically, there are very few characters still alive who know what Black Noir looks like underneath his suit. Homelander is aware of Noir’s identity because he could see right through the costume because of his X-ray vision.
Grace Mallory and Stan Edgar know the real Black Noir because they got acquainted with him during his Payback days before he began wearing the helmet. But the public doesn’t know the man behind the mask. Vought could reveal that Black Noir died, but they’d likely craft some kind of cover story to keep the real details under wraps (like they did with Translucent in season two).
Another option is to let the public believe he’s still alive and well, and have someone else skilled with knives take over the suit. Is Ryan going to become corrupt like Homelander?Cameron Crovetti as Ryan and Antony Starr as Homelander in the season three finale of “The Boys. “Prime VideoThis season, Ryan was shielded from Homelander by Grace Mallory, who sort of became his primary guardian who he affectionately calls Aunt Grace.
But Homelander made a deal with Victoria and was able to track Ryan down through her connections. Homelander convinced Ryan to leave with him by acting empathetic. Homelander assured the boy that he wasn’t mad at him for what he did in the season two finale because when people are as strong as they are, accidents happen and he loves him regardless.
In the finale, Homelander introduced Ryan to Soldier Boy as a way to appeal to the supe and show him their little family. But it just angered Soldier Boy and a fight broke out. After Maeve jumped out the window with Soldier Boy, Ryan willingly chose Homelander over Butcher.
In the final scene of the episode, a faint smile appeared on Ryan’s face after Homelander murdered a Starlight supporter at a rally and his fans cheered. Now that Ryan is with Homelander, he’s probably going to become influenced by his father — and not in a good way considering how unhinged Homelander is. Who’s going to fill the vacant spots in The Seven?From left: Black Noir, The Deep, Starlight, Homelander, Queen Maeve, A-Train, and Supersonic in season three, episode four of “The Boys.
“Prime VideoVery rarely is The Seven actually comprised of seven supes. This season, the previously empty spots in the team got filled by Supersonic (after he competed on “American Hero”) and returning member The Deep. But Supersonic’s time in The Seven was cut short by Homelander murdering him in episode four.
By the end of the season, Homelander killed Black Noir, Annie ditched the group to officially join The Boys, and Queen Maeve left town with Elena to live a simple life. That leaves Homelander, A-Train, and The Deep — with four vacancies on the team. Read the original article on Insider.
