Unexpectedly, the show's most insane episode came in the middle of the season. Homelander's monologue in the mirror shows just how twisted he has become, he sees his desire to be loved as a weakness and given how this episode ended, I believe he will snap very soon. Soldier Boy is a compelling character, he seems like a man who doesn't care about the consequences of his actions but doesn't want to hurt innocent people. The conflict between Hughie and Annie has been set up perfectly so far and Annie's Instagram live at the end was a perfect cliffhanger. The insight into M. M. in this episode and the origin of his OCD is something that continues to make him one of the best characters in the show. The fight against Homelander was obviously insane and the bruise on his face is something that may effect his psyche. This episode had it all.
