The Boys Season 4 Episode 7 was packed with fascinating insights and some pretty intriguing discoveries. With a thrilling cliffhanger at the conclusion, this episode did a fantastic job of building up The Boys' Season 3 finale. It also introduced us to a new superhero. But, we still have a full week before the season finale airs, so it's likely that some information on episode 7 may escape our memory. Here is a synopsis of The Boys Season 4 Episode 7 and an explanation of the resolution.

  • Frenchie is freed from the prison by Butcher with the help of Grace, the CIA agent who has helped him keep Ryan safe from Homelander in the previous season.
  • Butcher freed him so he could help Sameer reverse engineer the supe-killing virus and make it stronger.
  • However, Sameer deceives Kimiko and Frenchie and injects Kimiko with the virus forcing Frenchie to amputate her leg

The Cause of Kimiko's Inability to Speak Was Disclosed

  • Kimiko tells Frenchie that the reason why she cannot talk is not the trauma of watching her parents being killed.
  • She reveals that when she was captive at Shining Light, Kimiko had to fight to death without making a sound with other girls and she killed multiple girls for her survival.
  • The trauma of killing those girls is the reason why Kimiko cannot talk.

  • Homelander sent The Deep and Black Noir to kill off The Boys
  • However just when he was about to kill Annie, A-Train showed up and saved her life.
  • He then helped Mother’s Milk, Butcher, and Annie fight The Deep and Black Noir successfully making the two supes retreat. We also saw the new Black Noir fly for the first time, potentially setting up the finale for a comic-accurate ending.

Explained: The Boys Season 4 Episode 7's Resolution

  • By the end of The Boys Season 4 Episode 7, we see Annie behave a bit strangely.
  • Her strange behavior was confirmed when she stole the laptop and hard drive containing all the dirt of Homelander and Vought.
  • It is revealed to us that the shapeshifter has kept Annie captive in a basement and has taken her form to steal that laptop and hard drive.
The episode ends with the sound of footsteps getting closer to Annie, who is attempting to break out from her confinement. It remains unclear who is doing this, but it is quite likely Sister Sage, who has been arrested, is still carrying out her plan. So let's wait till the next episode airs, and in the meanwhile, follow us on social media for more information!
