What’s Coming in Episode 4 — No Major Spoilers
Episode 3 left The Boys without their most powerful weapon against Homelander — and with Ryan barely alive after a brutal confrontation. The team is fractured. Time is running out. And Homelander isn’t just a threat anymore — he’s the system.
Episode 4 sends the team to Fort Harmony, an abandoned military facility where Compound V1 was once tested. V1 is the original version of Compound V — the compound that appears to have granted Soldier Boy a form of immortality, making him immune to the Supe-killing virus. Whoever controls V1 controls the endgame.
Both sides are racing for it. The Boys need it to finish what they started. Homelander wants it to become exactly what his haunting vision of the late Madelyn Stillwell told him he was destined to be — immortal, and above everything.
Showrunner Eric Kripke has confirmed that the Gen V characters will appear before the season ends — making Episode 4 a potential collision point between the two universes. The promo teases the episode as a “quiet trip.” On this show, that means the exact opposite.
Where to Watch & How Much It Costs
The Boys Season 5 is available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

Why Season 5 Has Everyone Hooked
Season 5 of The Boys has completely abandoned slow-burn storytelling — every episode feels less like a chapter and more like a countdown to total collapse. With 55 million global viewers tuning in for Season 4, the final season arrived with sky-high expectations — and so far, it has met every single one of them.
Four episodes in, with four still to go — the question is no longer can The Boys stop Homelander?
Is there anything left worth saving if they do?
Bottom Line
The Boys Season 5 Episode 4 release time is midnight PT tonight — and judging by how Season 5 has played out so far, sleep can wait.
Set your alarm. This one’s going to hurt.
