Small Screen Couch Commentary: The Boys

Welcome back to "Small Screen Couch Commentary" with your hosts, Alex and Billy! This week, we’re diving into the madness of The Boys Season 4, Episode 6, titled "Dirty Business." Brace yourselves for an episode packed with wild twists, dark humor, and more shocking moments than you can shake a Compound V syringe at.

The episode kicks off with Billy Butcher and Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) interrogating Sameer, who’s chained up in an abandoned warehouse. Butcher's not holding back, inflicting pain on Sameer’s amputation stump to coerce him into making the virus. Meanwhile, Butcher's own illness is visibly worsening, adding a ticking clock to their desperate mission.

In a lighter subplot, Hughie and Daphne take a walking tour through New York to scatter Hugh Sr.'s ashes, hitting up the romantic comedy spots from "Maid in Manhattan." Their nostalgic journey is interrupted by a Hometruther harassing Annie, and things get darker as Kimiko is turned away from visiting Frenchie in prison.

Firecracker takes over Cameron Coleman's VNN timeslot, spewing absurd conspiracy theories as MM watches while talking to A-Train on the phone. A-Train reveals the truth about Coleman and more about what is happening at Vought. MM plans to infiltrate a gala at Tek Knight's estate, recruiting Hughie to disguise as the arachnid-powered Supe, Webweaver.

Homelander, Ryan, and the rest of the Seven arrive at Tek Knight's mansion for the gala. Hughie, now in Webweaver's smelly costume, is planting bugs around the mansion when he’s caught by Neuman. She doesn’t recognize him, and neither does Tek Knight, who’s excited to show off his TekCave to his new "sidekick."

Things take a bizarre turn as Tek Knight and Hughie tour the TekCave and things go from weird to worst. Meanwhile, Annie and Kimiko convince MM to help them break into the mansion, fearing for Hughie’s life. They find Tek Knight torturing Hughie, and chaos ensues as they rescue him and take down Tek Knight.

Kimiko attempts to visit Frenchie in prison again, seeking solace and yet again is turned away. The episode ends with Butcher confronting the moral dilemma of using a potentially airborne, Supe-killing virus that could wipe out all Supes, including his allies. We also find out here whether or not Alex's prediction from the previous episode is correct or not!
