The Boys Season 4, Episode 8 “Season Four Finale” Synopsis:

Here’s the official synopsis for the episode, per Prime Video:

It’s January 6th as Congress certifies the election results to officially make Bob Singer President and
Victoria Neuman his VP. But when Homelander reveals the truth about Neuman on live TV, it sends
Congress — and the entire nation — into an uproar. Meanwhile, The Boys try to protect Singer from
assassination, not realizing that the assassin is closer than they think. Annie struggles to figure out who
Annie January really is — and to break free from captivity. And when Butcher makes his final attempt to
convince Ryan to leave Homelander, things go horribly wrong, causing Butcher to embrace the monster
within — and nothing will ever be the same again.

The Boys Season 4 Synopsis:

The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.

The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful.

The Boys is based on The New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, who also serve as executive producers, and developed by executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke. Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, James Weaver, Neal H. Moritz, Pavun Shetty, Phil Sgriccia, Michaela Starr, Paul Grellong, David Reed, Meredith Glynn, Judalina Neira, Ken F. Levin, and Jason Netter also serve as executive producers. The Boys is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, with Kripke Enterprises, Original Film, and Point Grey Pictures.
