How the 'Gen V' Season 2 Finale Sets Up Season 5 of 'The Boys'

Gen V's finale reveals Godolkin's defeat by Marie and sets the stage for The Boys Season 5 with new alliances and a growing resistance against Vought.

  • Last week, the Gen V season 2 finale saw Marie Moreau use her powers to explode Thomas Godolkin , killing him and forcing Godolkin University students to flee.
  • Cipher was unmasked as Doug, a man puppeteered by Thomas Godolkin, played by Ethan Slater, who was revived through Sister Sage, played by Susan Heyward, and Marie's plan.
  • At the seminar, the violence escalated when Thomas Godolkin puppeteered multiple students to maim and kill, briefly turning Marie Moreau against her friends before the tide shifted.
  • Polarity warned the group that Vought would come for them and told them to go on the run while he stayed behind, and Eric Kripke says The Boys season 5 will pick up roughly six months later next year.
  • Kripke cautioned that Marie Moreau is powerful but won’t be the decisive factor against Homelander, as Gen V was designed to set the chessboard for The Boys season 5.
