This episode begins with a commercial for a movie on the network VTV, a Vought network marketing toward women. Much like the infamous Lifetime family movies. Notice how the font of the network is in the lifetime font. Vought is trying to clean up the deep’s Q rating among women after the allegations of sexual harrassment levied against him. And they’re doing this by blaming it on the church of the collective.

Billy Zane is even playing church head Alistair Adana. He’s great. The reason Vought is scapegoating the church is because–as far as we know–they are the only other entity that has any control over Supes. They challenge Vought’s monopoly on the industry.

It’s very appropriate that the episode begins with a television program showing a lie, and it ends with another television program showing people the truth–how Homelander really feel. [clip]

More on that later. The ad for Homelander’s birthday party was hilarious. [clip]. He lists the cast of Riverdale and random celebrities that have no connection whatsoever to each other. Butcher is watching the show, and suddenly he sees his brother, lenny. Lenny was always able to calm down Butcher and curb his violent tendencies.

It's interesting how the show is drawing all of these similarities between homelander and butcher. They both think they can operate above the law, they’re foul mouthed, egotistical, and violent. And now we see that Butcher is willing to become even more like a homelander, taking compound V to laser people to death.

Both Butcher and Homelander try and fail to connect with people they care about. Butcher hurts Ryan’s feelings, and Homelander can’t get stormfront to wish him happy birthday.

We find out that Red River is a super children’s orphanage, and not the black water type organization it is in the comics. Or is it? [illuminati music]

It’s really sad to see Supersonic go through the same disillusionment that Starlight did. It shows that Vought’s propaganda runs so deep that even the supes within the organization buy into it.

And of course ordinary people buy into it too, especially kids. M&M's daughter loves supes–and Butcher rubs this in by bringing them a puzzle of Vought tower.

This leads MM to go through his Soldier Boy clippings. From last episode’s newspapers, we learned that Soldier boy was responsible for the deaths of his mother and siblings, and that his dad spent years trying to sue Vaught before he finally died. These clippings show a pattern of Soldier Boy being careless and using extreme force.

For instance, this one mentions a mugging in central park and a soldier boy forcing a false confession. This is likely arefernce to the wrongful conviction of the central park five–5 innocent men convicted of rape who were vindicated years later.

Soldier Boy is a veteran of world war 2, like Edgar mentioned last season [clip]. And it’s likely that, for him, the war never ended, and he kept using the same brutal tactics to fight crime at home.

And then we go to Voughtland, where Kamikoto gets a tiny sliver of her childhood dream. We see the payback coaster–and they’re the boys version of the avengers. She and frenchie walkthrough Brave Maeve’s inclusive kingdom–which is careful to say here that there is a castle for everyone. Remember, Vought rebranded amaeve as a lesbian, and immediately co-opted severak social justices causes so everyone could feel better about themselves for accepting her.

The real joke here is that maeve is bi, not a lesbian, and that Vought crafted her idnetntiy into what straight people think a lesbian is. For instance, the veggie taco stand which featured symbolically oppressed tacos and intersectional tacos. There’s also the BLM BLT, which reduces the black lives matter movement into a sandwich. There’s also the Wok Wok and the LGBTurkey Legs.
