The Boys season 3 episode 7 ended with a startling revelation SPOILERS that Solider Boy (Jensen Ackles) is Homelander’s (Antony Starr) father. Though it wasn’t the only appalling new findings, Black Noir’s (Nathan Mitchell) backstory left fans in dismay and Butcher’s (Karl Urban) painful memory of his brother and its parallels with Hughie (Jack Quaid) was a deathblow to viewers, making this week’s release an emotional rollercoaster with several twists. Here’s a highlight of some of the best moments from “Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed”.
Frenchie (Tomer Capon) missing out on Herogasm is officially “the greatest sorrow” of his life. Prime Video keeps winning with its weekly episode releases from The Boys season 3. The latest follows episode 6’s route showcasing a few disturbing sequences like Homelander’s weird satisfaction in milking a cow, Soldier Boy getting his own Herogasm at the Legend’s (Paul Reiser) crib, A-train’s (Jessie T. Usher) surprising yet twisted redemption arc with Blue Hawk’s (Nick Wechsler) transplanted heart and The Deep (Chace Crawford) convincing his wife into a threesome with his Octopus buddy, Ambrosius.
The most-discussed scene in The Boys season 3 episode 7 is Black Noir talking to his imaginative cartoon friends. But unexpectedly, the sequence also reveals why he and the rest of the team betrayed Soldier Boy. Besides Black Noir’s heartbreaking story – Butcher’s brother dynamic with Hughie is explored further after he falls for Mindstorm’s ability. Watching his brother Lenny’s suicide has clearly impacted Butcher. The one good thing to come out of episode 7 is finding out Maeve is still alive and it’s not just Homelander’s ego that bruised. Also, Annie (Erin Moriarty) outsmarting her way out of Vought and Homelander by live streaming was priceless. Readers can check out reactions below.
HOLY SHIT. Butcher is a scumbag. But THAT ENDING! #TheBoys

Black Noir and MM deserve their revenge against Soldier Boy. Butcher is basically committing suicide with Hughie. Did Kimiko just family-zoned Frenchie?. And well, Soldier Boy being a "good father" to Homelander was fucking scary. No one would be able to stop them. #TheBoys pic.twitter.com/yU7SrYCwDP

Meanwhile, Frenchie and Kimiko are reunited with M.M (Laz Alonso) and Starlight as they try to figure out what gas managed to knock out Solider Boy during his captive in Russia. Fortunately, Kimiko becoming a Supe again thanks to a little help from Annie may have leveled the battleground. But with Homelander and Solider boy possibly reunited as Father and Son, could our ragtag supe hunters win? Let’s hope to learn more in The Boys season 3 episode 8 when it streams next Friday on Amazon Prime Video.
