Episode written by: Judalina Neira

Episode directed by: Phil Sgriccia

Synopsis: Firecracker is asked by her former reverend for help after his church is vandalized, because he won’t move to the teachings of the Democratic Church of America. When the church is later raided and the Pastor arrested, a troubled and torn Firecracker gives a defamatory news report about him. 

Meanwhile, Black Noir struggles not only with his partnership with The Deep, but also with his identity as he tries to balance being in The Seven with his commitments to a local theater group. As tensions rise, The Deep kills the play director, Adam Bourke, a la Conger Eel as he reasserts his control over Black Noir. 

At the Boys makeshift laboratory Frenchie continues to develop the virus while Mothers Milk searches for Bombsite and the remaining V1. After a close call between chocolate and his beloved dog Terror, Butcher finally agrees that he will allow Annie and Kimiko to take it when (if) they find it. 

Back at Vought Tower Sister Sage warns Ashley that Homelander must not obtain V1. When Ashley asks what the angle is, Sister Sage says peace! More specifically her own peace and quiet with a book and no longer harassed by Homelander. To do this she is planning World War Supe to ensure humans and Supes ultimately kill each other. She needs back-Ashley’s help finding out Soldier Boy's plans and as a reward Bashley and Ashley will be allowed to join Sage in her bunker.

In the basement, Homelander and Soldier Boy interrogate Stan Edgar, who points them to Mister Marathon, a former member of the Seven now residing in Los Angeles. Mister Marathon and his friend Malchemical try to turn Soldier Boy against Homelander after Malchemical incapacitates him, but he refuses and kills Malchemical. During a pursuit, Marathon accidentally kills his celebrity friends running into them at every step of the way. Soldier Boy finally brings him to a halt with lots and lots of Daddy Puff’s baby oil and incapacitates him with a heavy dose of snap, crackle and pop of his breaking bones. After getting confirmation from Mister Marathon that Bombsight has V1, Homelander kills him. 

Back at Vought Tower, after learning Firecracker has been sleeping with his father and also the nature of her post-coital chit chat and Firecracker’s doubts, Homelander asks her to pack her bags and go. Firecracker pleads with him for her to stay saying she is the only one that has ever loved him. As she pushes it too far Homelander makes her a permanent feature of Vought Tower as he kills her. Death by eagle wing, as he pins her head to the right wing of an all American bald eagle.
