The Boys Season 3 Episode 8

We've got a rowdy rendezvous with the season finale and it's gonna be absolutely diabolical!

Besides those familiar faces, Season 3 is also fully-loaded with a flock of new supes. Hey, we dare to dream! What is The Boys Season 3 Episode 8 release time?

New episodes of Prime Video shows usually drop on the streaming service at 12:00 a.m. GMT, which means you'll most likely be able to watch Episode 8 of The ...

We used the term “most likely” because Season 3, Episode 4 was delayed, presumably due to tech issues. This week’s installment may be the season finale, but it’s not the last we’ll see of The Boys. Thankfully, Amazon renewed their hit series for a fourth season back in June. WHAT TIME WILL THE BOYS SEASON 3, EPISODE 8 BE ON AMAZON?

Our assumption going into this episode was that the character was going to be killed, mostly because Soldier Boy wanted that. He opted to come back from the ...

We’ll be honest: We had no idea that the death of Black Noir would move us in any way close to what it did. Once you check it out, remember to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube for all sorts of other discussions. He wanted to face the very man who tormented and treated him terribly with Payback so many years ago.

Soldier Boy and Homelander had a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker moment, Kimiko got her powers back, and Black Noir is the last name on Soldier Boy's list.

Maeve makes the ultimate sacrifice, leaping with Soldier Boy out the window she saves the rest of the team as he blows up midair. Annie officially joins the Boys by unanimous vote, and Butcher is clearly going to leave his deteroriating condition a secret it true Butcher fashion. She holds her own but ends up losing an eye to his thumb as Soldier Boy mops the floor with Butcher until Annie and MM arrive just in time. They stash the rest of the team in a safe and head over to the tower. Floating into the sky, Annie hits Soldier Boy hard enough to stun him while MM gets the nerve agent on him. So now, we get the rarest of rare moments: a Butcher/Homelander team-up against Soldier Boy. They hated it. Soldier Boy gears up again, but this time Butcher stops him to save Ryan, who was unconscious on the ground. Soldier Boy, Butcher, and Hughie are set to go after the last member of Payback, until Butcher leaves Hughie behind knocked out cold in a gas station bathroom. Soldier Boy, Ben’s, father was disappointed he’d taken a shortcut to greatness by using V. He goes on to say he always wanted kids to do better than his father, and Butcher reminds him that Homelander isn’t really his son. Soldier Boy and Homelander had a Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker moment, Kimiko got her powers back, and Black Noir is the last name on Soldier Boy’s list. After being abandoned by Butcher earlier in the season, Homelander’s promise to be there for him seems to land home. But can now assume that Butcher and Soldier’s Boy deal is off after the big father/son announcement.

It was always a shaky idea to center a season of The Boys on a plot to take out Homelander. A recap of “The Instant White-Hot Wild,” episode eight and the ...

The Boys is a big show with a big ensemble and big ideas. These are ideas I wished this episode — and this season in general — had the space to explore in more depth. The man’s earnest desire to confront his demons leads to his entrails spilling on the floor of Vought when Homelander learns Noir knew the truth about his parentage. Perhaps most tragically, Butcher’s relationship with the boy he began to think of as his son may be tarnished forever. Hughie evacuates the building, but his biggest win is blasting the studio lights to boost Annie’s power enough to incapacitate Soldier Boy. Hughie’s ego trip lasted far too long this season, and his revelation in this episode is predictable — strength doesn’t always come from superpowers, and sometimes it’s heroic just to be there and support the people you love — but it’s still a triumphant moment. The rest of the Boys arrive just in time to save Butcher and immediately get to work. It was always a shaky idea to center a season of The Boys on a plot to take out Homelander because the show clearly wasn’t getting rid of him. Maeve gets in on it, too, though she’s still focused on the initial mission — and in a gnarly shot late in their brawl, Homelander takes out her eye. To Soldier Boy, Homelander is just a “weak, sniveling pussy starved for attention,” “a fucking disappointment.” It’s the same language Soldier Boy’s own father used, going directly against Soldier Boy’s earlier musing about breaking the cycle. That’s the other biggest question of the episode: How will Soldier Boy’s knowledge of his relation to Homelander affect the mission? But at this point in the series, the cast is so large and the plot so tangled that a big status quo shift feels necessary — and “The Instant White-Hot Wild” really doesn’t have one. Butcher and Hughie are still a go on transporting Soldier Boy to Vought Tower to find and kill Homelander and Black Noir. But Mother’s Milk, Frenchie, Kimiko, a newly retired Annie, and a newly escaped Maeve are more focused on Soldier Boy, knowing that his standard explosion trick could wipe out thousands this time.

The Boys season 3 finale featured great performances all round, but fell short in the delivering the fight we were all waiting for.

And then there’s Homelander. With Ryan in tow, the episode ends with the maniacal Supe lasering a Starlight fan in half – all while his Storm Chasers watch on. Frenchie and Kimiko have a beautiful scene in which they discuss reconciling with their past, while Laz Alonso continues to shine as MM in a powerful moment with Frenchie about wanting to be the best for his daughter. There have been big highs, including the introduction of Soldier Boy to the fray while 'Herogasm' led to one of the series’ greatest episodes yet. The only disappointment here is that it doesn’t match the brilliance of Homelander, Butcher and Soldier Boy's confrontation in 'Herogasm', which showed their limits. Heading out with Billy Butcher to kill the last remaining Payback member Black Noir, Soldier Boy confides his own tense relationship with his dad – how he was never good enough for his father, which led him to volunteer for Vought’s experimental testing, only for his dad to say that he cheated. The moment should have added tension to the storyline, yet it has taken the wind out of the show’s sails.

Season 3 of The Boys comes to a bloody end in an episode that sees the departure of several major characters. Read EW's recap of the finale.

The finale ends with a disturbing scene outside Vaught, where Homelander introduces Ryan to the world. Earlier in the episode, he found a vial of Temp-V in the safe-house. Butcher has a choice — let Ryan die to fulfill his quest for revenge, or save Ryan and let Homelander walk free. Homelander appeals to Soldier Boy's fatherly instincts — begging him to fight by his side, and introducing him to his grandson, Ryan. For a beat, it seems like Soldier Boy might just join his family… but time is running out, as Soldier Boy fights back and prepares to blow them all to kingdom come… But Maeve is dead set on using Soldier Boy to eliminate Homelander — so she throws the novichock out the window. Leave it to the show's resident idiots to pull a move as dumb as that — Maeve easily overpowers her escorts and escapes. As the Boys jet across town, Black Noir (Nathan Mitchell) returns to Homelander's side, ready to face Soldier Boy… but he'll have to deal with one supe at a time. With diplomacy off the table, they do battle, father and son clashing beneath the bright lights of the Vaught newsroom. Unbeknownst to Ryan, the rest of the world ain't too happy with his daddy. So naturally, when Homelander appeals to that fractured part of Ryan, he folds, leaving his caretaker Mallory (Laila Robbins) behind and flying off with his sociopathic bio-dad. After being rebuffed by Butcher ( Karl Urban) earlier in the season, Ryan's desperate for the love of a legitimate parent.

The Boys closes an exceptional season with a finale filled with character beats that speak to emotional victories over broken bodies, proving once again it ...

America is rotten from inside its government to its impressionable masses, and The Boys only intensifies its "patriotism as terrorism" commentaries. "The Instant White-Hot Wild" could simultaneously be the most hopeful and the evilest episode of The Boys yet. All the groundwork laid by the now deceased Jonah Vogelbaum (John Doman) and Butcher's father Sam (John Noble) to shape Butcher and Homelander's hatred becomes clearer when Soldier Boy recalls his tragic fatherly relationship — Soldier Boy was forever a "disappointment," then a "cheater" for gaining Compound V superpowers. In an episode where the men are dealt crippling psychological haymakers (atop physical pain), it's the women who stand tallest and battle ultimate evils no matter the bumps, bruises, and scars left as reminders. "The Instant White-Hot Wild" also catches us off guard because there are happier(ish) endings than we'd expect — especially if you're used to Garth Ennis' merciless comics. Homelander belittles what's left of the Seven in A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), The Deep (Chace Crawford), and Vought International CEO Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie). I don't want to say The Boys is solely about Butcher versus Homelander, yet their sometimes parallel, other times divergent paths become the storytelling cherry on last night's episode.

TVLine breaks down the biggest twists from 'The Boys' Season 3 finale -- plus, grade the episode!

* Noir returned to Vought Tower, where he made it clear to Homelander that Soldier Boy is bad and must be killed. And thanks to Ashley, who finally did something good and deleted the footage of The Boys rescuing Maeve, Homelander might actually have no idea that she’s alive. Soldier Boy called Homelander weak and sniveling, and he didn’t have much love for Ryan either, striking and wounding him when the kid tried to laser Soldier Boy off Homelander. * Maeve teamed up with Butcher and Soldier Boy to take down Homelander, even though it seemed unclear which way Soldier Boy was going to go up until Homelander tried to appeal to his father by bringing out little Ryan. What a happy family reunion… Soldier Boy managed to escape their grasp, and looked like he was about to blast everyone to death. Friday’s eventful and action-packed hour brought us, among other things, a highly anticipated showdown with Soldier Boy, a tragic loss that even brought Homelander to tears, and a surprisingly happy ending for one of the supes.

ComingSoon's The Boys Season 3 Episode 8 recap goes over the exciting finale, which left us wanting more as the show wraps up its latest season.

Instead, the introduction of Soldier Boy all but pushed the storyline into predictable territory, right down to the “Homelander, I am your father” bit we’ve seen a thousand times before. I wish I could’ve raised you and taught you father to son,” Soldier Boy says. A nearby man chucks a can at the boy and Homelander lasers his face off. “You see, we’re a family,” Homelander says. As if to enunciate that thought, he asks A-Train, “How could you kill one of your own?” (A-Train glances at Noir’s mask.) Homelander instructs the speedster to tell the world they are the only true brand of justice and then adds the zinger: “I’m worth more than all of you put together. “Butcher’s right, Homelander needs to be killed,” she says. “Did you know I had a father out there this whole time?” Reluctantly, Noir nods and Homelander rips out his intestines. — while Hughie and Butcher are using the whole “fight fire with fire” concept to achieve the same goal. “You were on his team,” Homelander says, “what was he like?” Noir scribbles the word “BAD” on a piece of paper and underlines it multiple times for good measure. Homelander starts waxing poetic about Soldier Boy, which prompts Noir to write, “Must kill him,” to which Homelander responds, “I don’t know if I want to.” Our evil superman then starts laying into Noir and mentions that he can tell when the silent ninja is lying. He then apologizes to Annie and even implores her to say what she’s wanted to say all along: “Oh my gosh, I fucking told you so!” When A-Train promises to make it right, Nathan screams, “How? Anytime you try to make it right you just make it worse!” He orders his brother to leave and begins hitting him.
