The episode begins with a gruesome scene of Dean Shetty and Dr. Cardosa testing the virus on some supes, who are locked in a room. Shetty wants the virus to be airborne and more contagious, while Cardosa warns her that they are crossing a line that Vought will not tolerate.


Cate, who has regained her memories and wants to stop Shetty, calls her and asks her to meet at her house. Shetty says she has to go to the city for an urgent matter and postpones the meeting. Cate tells Marie, Jordan, and Andre that they need to find evidence in Shetty’s office and expose her to Victoria Neuman, who is coming to Godolkin for a town hall meeting. Andre agrees to stay with Cate until Shetty arrives, while Marie and Jordan go to search for clues.


Emma goes out to get some supplies and food for Sam, who is hiding in her room. She tells him not to leave the room, as he is living proof of Shetty’s experiments in The Woods. Sam, however, gets bored and curious and decides to explore the campus. He meets a friendly supe named Dusty, who invites him to join him for some fun.


Neuman arrives at Godolkin and meets with Cameron Coleman, the host of the town hall meeting. She also meets with Marie, who is trying to form an alliance with her. Neuman reveals that she is the one who got Marie into Godolkin and that they have a lot in common. She also hints that she knows about The Woods and Shetty’s plan. Marie and Jordan find Shetty’s office locked and use their powers to break in. They find a laptop with files about The Woods and the virus.


The town hall meeting begins, with Coleman introducing Neuman as the vice presidential candidate who supports supes’ rights. Neuman gives a speech about how supes are not monsters or gods, but people who deserve respect and dignity. 


She enlists the help of Grace Mallory, a former CIA agent and the founder of The Boys, but Mallory refuses to cooperate. The episode ends with a cliffhanger where Vic receives the virus package from Dr. Cardosa and then kills him. However, the ending does not clearly spark light on where the Godolkin’s teen supes are, and what is gonna be their intentions in the next episode. 


This episode is by far the most exciting and dramatic of the season so far, with a lot of action, suspense, and twists. The virus plot is a clever way to raise the stakes and show the consequences of Shetty’s plan. The supe brawl is a thrilling spectacle that showcases the different powers and personalities of the characters. The revelation that Neuman is behind Marie’s admission to Godolkin and that she knows about The Woods is a shocking twist that adds a new layer of intrigue to the story.


The episode is a game-changer for the series, as it connects the dots with The Boys and sets the stage for an explosive finale. The episode is full of twists and turns, as well as references and cameos from The Boys universe. The episode also explores the themes of identity, loyalty, morality, and power, as the characters face difficult choices and consequences. The episode is well-written, well-acted, and well-directed, with impressive visual effects and cinematography.


The episode also showcases the character development of Marie, who goes from being a naive and ambitious supe to a disillusioned and vengeful one. She also discovers that she is not the only one with the blood power and that there are others like her who have been experimented on by Godolkin.


Overall, Gen V Episode 7 is a thrilling penultimate episode that delivers on its promise of connecting with The Boys and setting up a supe showdown that changes everything. Gen V Episode 7 is a great example of how to create a compelling narrative with a deadly virus, a supe brawl, and a surprising twist.


Final Score- [8/10]
