'The Boys' Season 5 Episode 7: Who Will Die Tonight?
The Boys is rounding the corner and about to run through the finish line. Homelander just got the V-One, which is supposed to make him immortal. This drug was Billy Butcher's key to defeating the show's number one bad guy.
Now that Homelander has the ultimate weapon in the series, it certainly feels like there will be a lot of death and destruction on the way in the final two episodes. These are the characters we think are most likely to die in tonight's penultimate episode, "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk".
4. Frenchie
Frenchie is one of the only characters on this show with any sort of humanity or heart. It feels like his death has been anticipated for quite some time, and while some may have him much higher on this list, settling in at the back of the top four should be good enough. His name being in the title card for the episode doesn't necessarily mean he's more likely to die in the episode.
3. The Deep
Why is The Deep still in this show? One of the dumbest people ever put on screen, maybe Chace Crawford's character avoids death because he's just not important enough for anyone to worry about. Despite his perseverance up to this point, it feels like the right time for him to meet his demise. Homelander is even more powerful than before, and perhaps he doesn't have any time for The Deep's cowardice any longer.
2. Mother's Milk
Mother's Milk keeps insisting that he is just doing what he has to do. His story feels complete at this point, and his closeness to Butcher makes him the biggest candidate to die in this episode. Butcher can't be killed off before the finale, so Mother's Milk might have to be the next best option.
1. Sister Sage
Sister Sage is the smartest person in the world, but she miscalculated Homelander and Soldier Boy's relationship in the last episode and sided with Butcher and the Boys. There's no chance her betrayal doesn't end in death in this episode.
