'The Boys' Season 5, Episode 4 Recap
The fourth episode, titled "King of Hell," sent both the heroes and villains to an abandoned Vought facility known as Fort Harmony. The mission for both sides was to secure "V1," a refined version of Compound V that reportedly grants immortality.
The episode’s central conflict was driven by a biological hazard within the facility. Frenchie discovered a mutation a man named Quinn who had been experimented on and forgotten for decades. Quinn radiated a "hate-field" through a fungal spore that forced everyone in his vicinity to speak their most resentful truths.
This led to brutal infighting among The Boys, with Hughie, MM, and Kimiko nearly coming to blows over long-held frustrations. The uneasy alliance between Homelander and Soldier Boy fractured further at the fort. After a heated argument, Soldier Boy trapped Homelander in a chamber filled with enriched uranium, causing the Supe leader immense pain and leaving him vulnerable.
During this time, Billy Butcher confronted the trapped Homelander, taunting him with the fact that immortality would never bring him the satisfaction he craves. While the teams were at the fort, Annie January (Starlight) had a personal detour, reuniting with her estranged father, Rick (played by guest star Tim Daly). The subplot provided much-needed context for Annie’s childhood, revealing that her father left not out of lack of love, but because he couldn't handle her mother’s obsession with Annie's "divinity. ‘The Boys’ Stars Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit Get Married in Intimate Ceremony in Australia – Report.

The episode concluded with Soldier Boy killing Quinn, which neutralised the hate-inducing spores and allowed the teams to escape. However, the mission was a failure for all involved; an original V1 survivor named Bombsight had already made off with the samples. The Boys headed home empty-handed, while Homelander’s god complex only deepened, setting the stage for his new "Democratic Church of America" propaganda campaign.
