 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So this would be my recap for the boys season 3 episode 1 now this this episode is Picking up of course a year after season 2 Victoria Newman the head exploding congresswoman revealed as a soup in season 2 is still here And I believe she was also revealed as like a founding director of the federal Bureau of Superfairs So season 3 kicks off with an in-universe screening of dawn of the 7 the 7 are shown taking on Stormfront Who I believe was played by Charlize Theron Homelander is shown watching from the theater with other members of the 7 present at what is now revealed to be a world premiere Huey and Starlight take to the red carpet while Victoria Newman resurfaces on the red carpet as well There seems to be a lot of tension on this red carpet premiere between the 7 and Huey for obvious reasons Huey goes to the bathroom and is scared by Butcher who creeps up on him He informs him about plans being in order But they need a green light from Huey before in acting the mission and Huey says he'll check in with Newman At a party Kamiko and Frenchie appear to be searching for something Frenchie ends up running into a room where a soup named termite Has erupted out of another man's penis Butcher who was watching everything shows up and catches a soup before it can harm Kamiko or Frenchie Huey wakes up next to Starlight and they have a cute little morning ritual session I'll call it Huey is still working for that federal Bureau of Superfairs He seems to be liking his office for helping bring down Stormfront Huey is then shown to have lunch with Newman before he runs into Tony Someone claiming he was here to see Nadia, but the image he points to when saying Nadia at is a Victoria Newman So it's like okay Victoria Newman's name is Nadia So this raises a question for Huey and of course you as a viewer Butcher drives into Mallory's location to see Ryan and the two-play connect four together They discuss Becca and Ryan has been having nightmares about Holander killing him Holander goes on the air with a I think this is like a show Yeah, show Cameron Coleman and explains how he did not know Stormfront was a Nazi We catch up with mother's milk who is celebrating his daughter's 10th birthday He seems to have left the boys completely and is focused on being a father Stan Edgar shows off a chemical named V24 That's mark that marketing is testing and one dose gives a soldier 24 hours of soup abilities We know there's a goal of getting soups in the military from previous seasons already There's a dispute about putting soups in the service that leads to Black Noir's antics being mentioned as an example Stan makes comments that hint at Newman's alliance with Vaught before we transition back to Newman and Huey having another lunch cover having another conversation over lunch Butcher and Huey get into an argument over termite and Vaught and his work with Newman Or Huey's work with Newman at being Butcher seems troubled by Huey and mother's milk leaving the group Homelander and Starlight are then shown meeting with Stan Edgar who makes Starlight co-captain of the seven This seems to be a response to her giving good press while Homelander's Stormfront Association has provided negative press for Vaught Homelander is asked to leave the room by Stan Stan has a conversation with Starlight and offers her real power as he calls it and tells her to think about it Starlight and Super Sonic who is a character also soup on the reality show named American hero This person took Starlight's virginity is revealed and Huey seems bothered by how close they are due to the show and their history together She talks to Huey about being offered to be a co-captain She sees it as an opportunity to stand up to Homelander and be a symbol of empowerment Which I will say she capitalizes on very heavily later on in the series or in this season Which you'll see as the episodes air week to week But back at Vaught International Homelander confronts a train about his irresponsible eating habits Maeve catches this encounter and texts something about needing to talk to Needing to talk to them to someone we don't see who this is at this moment Homelander goes to visit Stormfront who is still recovering from her season 2 finale injuries Homelander is on a downward spiral because Ryan was taken from him His position in Vaught is also being impacted. And of course this whole thing with Stormfront is also getting down or getting to him Maeve is in show meeting with Butcher revealing that she was texting Butcher earlier And she delivers a document on Soldier Boy that and that they want to find a weapon mentioned in the document to hurt Homelander Butcher finds a a pick of payback The former number one supergroup before the seven surpassed them Maeve delivers a dose of that chemical to Butcher and it seems a plan has been has been in has been put in place To kill Homelander. There's an ongoing plan to kill Homelander this season back at Butcher's house Homelander arrives looking for Ryan Homelander is frustrated with Vaught treating him like he's obsolete Mother's milk mother's milk's closet reveals He has been doing his own side project involving research on payback despite leaving the boys and Soldier Boy I think primarily is what I remember seeing in his closet Huey spies on Newman meeting with Tony to end the episode the old friend from earlier in the episode who called her Nadia He wants to go public about Red River Which is getting there's gonna be a question mark until the next episode and then Newman agrees Then kills Tony after he attacks her so then of course this is the moment where Huey being there Realizes that okay Newman is a soup. She has super abilities. Where do her loyalties lie? Is she in the government? Is this another ploy by Vaught to gain more advantages? Or is there something else going on with her because at this point all you'd have is the fact that you didn't even know She was a soup. You've just now found out. She was a soup. How are you gonna deal with that? How are you gonna react to this? What is your next step want to be that is how the episode ends all in all episode one I wasn't really the biggest fan of it in terms of okay It did enough to get me enticed, but it didn't give me the action that I was hoping I would get You get more of it as this as this season progresses.
