The degenerate 7 have always been a disaster, long before this crew, and they've always been covered.

The boys are looking for the weapon that took down Soldier Boy, the previous team leader and end up on Agent Mallory's door, Butcher's recruiter. She explains why she decided to move against Vaught and how Soldier Boy disappeared. Which leads the Boys to Russia. A temporary version of the V compound that gives superpowers falls in their lap, that Butcher and Hugh decide to use

Meanwhile, Starlight has to endure Vaught and Homelander's manipulations. And he's more unhinged than ever. Keeping her allies safe is a challenge. Is she up to the task and for how long ?

Special mention for Soldier Boy ! He will piss some people off. The creator and the actor (Texan) love making fun of the Confederate flag crew in all their splendour, I'm looking forward to watching this. So far so good. Soldier boy is Donald Trump's wet dream.
