The Boys Season 2 Episode 6 Breakdown and Review

Episode 6 The Bloody Doors Off

 

After getting her chip removed, Starlight accompanies The Boys to investigate an asylum under Vought's control. Frenchie, Kimiko and MM infiltrate the asylum, learning that the patients have superpowers and Frenchie recognizes Lamplighter as one of the orderlies. During a confrontation between Lamplighter and the three, one of the patients, Cindy, breaks free and uses her powers to free the others. One of the escapees attacks Butcher, Starlight and Hughie outside the complex, seriously injuring Hughie before Butcher kills him. While hiding from the fugitives, Frenchie confronts Lamplighter, who killed Mallory's grandchildren five years ago, learning that Lamplighter intended to kill Mallory and was unaware of the kids inside. Stormfront arrives and stops the rebellion, but instead of turning in the others, Lamplighter covers for them. While Hughie rests at the hospital accompanied by Butcher and Starlight, Mallory meets with the rest of the team and Lamplighter, who she considers killing as revenge, but Frenchie pleads her to spare him instead so that he can help with their cause. Meanwhile, Homelander confronts Stormfront, who lied about her whereabouts to stop the rebellion, and she reveals herself as a century-old member from the Nazi Party and widow of Frederick Vought, who made her the first successful subject of Compound-V. She asks for his help to lead an army of Supes she is creating to take over the world.

 

 


The Boys is an American superhero web television series based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. Developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon, it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they fight back against superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.

 

The series premiered on July 26, 2019. Ahead of the premiere, Amazon renewed The Boys for a second season, which is set to premiere on September 4, 2020

 

The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered individuals are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team, and the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control.

 

The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hughie Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed by one of the Seven; and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.
