What happened in The Boys Season 4 Episode 7

The Boys season 4 episode 7 was aired on July 11, 2024. The episode brought some major twists to the story as The Boys and The Seven faced off with each other. Butcher decides to bail Frenchie out of jail in the hope that he can help Sameer perfect the fatal virus for the supes. M.M. hands over the leadership mantle back to Butcher and contemplates leaving the group, however he is stopped by A-Train.

In the meantime, The Boys figure out that Homelander hired an unidentified supe shapeshifter to assassinate Singer. The leader of The Seven ends up killing the Webweaver, assuming he is the mole. Hughie makes a futile attempt by visiting Neuman to stop everything. Homelander, however, sends Deep and Black Noir II to kill The Boys, but they are confronted by Butcher and Annie.

As Butcher and Annie get cornered, A-Train and M.M. come to their rescue. Infuriated by the recent developments, Homelander decides to expel Sage from The Seven as she covers up the fact that A-Train is the real mole. Ryan too takes matters into his own hands as he decides to finally open up about his building frustration from Vought’s manipulation.

He interrupts a live Avenue V Christmas show and delivers a remarkable speech to the audience. On the other hand, Frenchie and Kimiko settle the rift between them before Sameer sneakily injects Kimiko with the virus, and escapes from their captivity. Frenchie then cuts off Kimiko’s leg to prevent the virus from spreading, thus saving Kimiko’s life.

Butcher ends up losing consciousness in a bar and as he falls onto the bar floor, he can see Kessler smiling at his condition. The episode concluded as Annie woke up in a confined room and tried to get out of it. The supe shapeshifter ends up replacing Annie, setting a major precursor for the proceedings of episode 8.
