Synopsis: A year after Homelander consolidated his power, Annie January aka Starlight infiltrates a Vought shareholder meeting and leaks the Flight 37 video, damaging trust in Homelander. Sister Sage responds by discrediting the footage with help from Ashley Barrett, now Vice President of the United States.
But Homelander wants more, wants devotion, wants to be happy and the only way he believes that he can be happy is with Starlight and William Butcher dead. With this in mind he forces Sage to reveal that petit Hughie Campbell, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie, who are imprisoned in a Freedom Camp, are to be executed.
Billy Butcher reunites with Annie and Kimiko to infiltrate the camp and save the boys, but his focus is Frenchie who can help develop the supe-virus further. The escape Plan A, A-Train, refuses Annie’s ask to help evacuate the Boys from the Freedom Camp as he has his family to protect. But after The Deep once again comes for him and his family he decides to confront his fears and help the team bust the Boys out of internment.
Starlight Billy and Kimiko gain an entry through a tunnel opened by the supe known as The Worm, who does like the taste of the Rochester Honeoye soil. As they enter Cabin 19, Homelander is waiting for them. As he delays killing his foes Annie creates a distraction, allowing the group to scatter. M.M. kills Love Sausage, and Homelander captures Hughie, but A-Train arrives in the nick of time and intervenes to save Hughie.
The team escapes after Homelander becomes fixated on A-Train. As he chases him A-Train crashes trying to avoid a collision with an innocent bystander and is murdered by Homelander after provoking him with some hometruths as he lays out how weak, snivelling and pathetic Homelander is once you strip away the man from the suit.
