Review of The Boys Season 4 Episode 7: The Insider

Butcher bails Frenchie out of jail to assist Sameer with the virus. M.M. gives up leadership of The Boys, passes the baton back to Butcher again, and considers leaving with Monique and Janine; A-Train convinces him not to leave. The Boys discover a plan to assassinate Singer that will be carried out by an unidentified Supe shapeshifter. Homelander kills Webweaver, believing he is the mole. Hughie goes to Neuman's house to convince her to stop everything, to no avail. Homelander sends The Deep and Black Noir II to kill The Boys, starting a fight with Butcher and Annie, who are saved by A-Train and M.M. Infuriated, Homelander expels Sage from The Seven for hiding A-Train as the leak. Tired of being used by Vought, Ryan gets fed up, interrupts a live Avenue V Christmas show to give a speech and leaves. Frenchie and Kimiko reconcile by telling each other what they blame themselves for before Sameer injects Kimiko with the dose of the virus he has prepared and escapes; Frenchie saws off her leg so the virus doesn't spread. Butcher passes out in a bar. Annie finds herself shackled in a room somewhere, having been impersonated and replaced by the shapeshifter.

The events of next week’s finale will likely matter in a way that the last one didn’t. With only one season left and a violent insurrection on the horizon, the stakes are higher than ever.
