His exile only lasted so long: After “divine” intervention from Alastair, A-Train was able to rejoin The Seven before the end of the season. A-Train (Jessie Usher) was sidelined early in the season, only to recuperate in time to be dropped from the group by Homelander for not being up to standard. Season 1 already dealt with the loss of two members of The Seven - Translucent (Alex Hassell) by death and Lamplighter (Shawn Ashmore) by retirement - but Season 2 really played with the roster of supes. Butcher does so by keeping him in the custody of Mallory. Stormfront is incapacitated, and in that brief moment, Butcher is able to save Ryan and make a promise to Becca to keep her son safe. In a rescue attempt, the young boy’s powers prove to be too undisciplined, and he accidentally kills his mother, Becca, while trying to attack Stormfront. Butcher and the rest of the gang agree to help save Ryan. Matters get worse when Stormfront and Homelander start dating, and she tries to convince him to steal Ryan away so they can become a separate family.Īfter Homelander abducts Ryan, Becca seeks out Butcher. Despite Becca’s attempts to keep Ryan normal, Homelander tries to convince Ryan that being a full-fledged supe is the best possible life. Homelander wants to be a better father to Ryan than his father was to him. Becca refuses, not wanting to leave her son at the mercy of Vought and a terroristic superhero. Butcher wants Becca to abandon Ryan, knowing the boy would attract Homelander’s attention. Much of Season 2 revolved around Becca (Shantel VanSanten), who is both the ex-wife of Butcher and the mother of Homelander’s (Antony Starr) son Ryan (Cameron Crovetti). Unbeknownst to Hughie, however, is the fact that Neuman is a brain-exploding assassin who’s already disposed of Vought science officer Jonah Vogelbaum (John Doman), as well as Church of the Collective leader Alastair Adana (Goran Visnjic), among others standing in the way of her pursuit of Vought.
Hughie then attempts to operate on a more ethical route, teaming up with Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), who was working as the head of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs. The Boys also learn about an old supe from the ’70s who used the alias Liberty. Kenji is murdered by the newest member of The Seven, Stormfront (Aya Cash), which sends Kimiko on a revenge path.
Unsurprisingly, things get out of hand there’s a bloody helicopter crash and the death of a whale. However, the supe they’re bringing in is Kenji (Abraham Lim), Kimiko’s (Karen Fukuhara) radicalized brother. Grace Mallory (Laila Robins) to clear everyone’s name in exchange for a superhero. Time for Plan B.īutcher makes a deal with Col. In order to go help clear their names, Hughie devises a plan to smuggle Compound V out of Vought with the help of Starlight (Erin Moriarty) however, this leads to CIA Director Raynor (Jennifer Esposito) getting her head exploded. They were also dealing with being framed for the murder of Madelyn Stillwell (Elisabeth Shue), hence their need to lay low at the beginning of the season. The Boys were mostly fractured for Season 2 no one wanted much of anything to do with Butcher (Karl Urban), least of all Hughie (Jack Quaid), who remained idealistic that supes could be taken down in a non-excessive manner. For all the action, laughs, and Nazi-punching the show delivered in its second season, it also set the stage for a pretty pivotal Season 3, and thus, if you need a refresher, here’s everything to remember from Season 2 of The Boys.
#Seasons 2remember full
Season 2 was brimming with all sorts of violence and debauchery - you know, the exact kind of thing you’d expect from a show full of raucous, uber-famous superheroes with free rein on humanity and society. Amazon’s gritty, grisly and gratuitous superhero send-up is finally back for its third season.
