Let’s get the big reveal out of the way first.

Billy Butcher confronts Homelander in The Boys season 3 episode 6

Billy Butcher is back!

There is a credits stinger and it reunites us with everyone’s favorite Supe hater Billy Butcher.

To explain his cameo, we need to backtrack a little.

The person on the other end of the call hears everything, leading Mallory to ask them to investigate.

Wait, how did Marie shrug off Homelander’s attack?

Thanks to Gen V episode 8’s mid-credits stinger, we know that person was Butcher.

Billy Butcher isn’t the only big name to make a surprise appearance inGen Vseason 1’s finale.

However, perhaps unsurprisingly, Homelander gets the wrong end of the stick.

Jordan smiles as they sit in a nightclub in Gen V

Jordan (pictured) has been imprisoned alongside her friends.

She does so to save Jordan, who Marie has fallen for, from being mind-controlled by Cate.

Homelander believes she’s snapped and has started maiming and killing her own kind (aka Supes).

He immediately assumes Marie is responsible for the riot and rebukes her for her alleged crimes.

Who or what is behind Polarity’s physical ailment?

So, who’s responsible for incarcerating them?

We think it’s Vought.

After all, Homelander believes Marie and her allies are a threat to national security.

As for where they are, there are two options.

Gen Vwill return for its sophomore year.

First, they could be locked away somewhere in Vought Tower.

The other possibility is that Vought has more facilities like The Woods across the US.

And will they affect Andre?

This one’s easy to answer.

Of course, the impact of this on Andre is two-fold.

First, he has to have a go at stop his dad from using his powers again.

If he continues to use his abilities, will he suffer the same fate as his father?

That seems likely, given they share DNA and have the same Supe skills.
