Somewhere in Havana, Cuba, A-Train begins to tie-off loose ends, at the orders of Homelander, as he kills Popclaw with a heroin overdose faster than a speeding bullet.

Meanwhile, Mother’s Milk, Billy Butcher and Hughie Campbell follow-up on a new lead in their investigation and head over to the “Believe” Expo. While Homelander rallies the crowd at the Expo going off-script to promote Vought’s agenda, Starlight struggles with her contradictions as she is asked to portray a fake, sanitised version of herself at “Believe”.

Butcher and Milk follow-up on the new intel at a local hospital and discover laser beam babies created by Compound V. Back in New York, Frenchie releases The Female as he realises he’s been compromised, as A-Train, helped by Black Noir, step up their efforts to find Frenchie and bring in the Female.
