Billy Butcher’s Strange Moment in The Boys Season 4, Explained

Billy isn’t the focus of Season 4, Episode 4, “Wisdom of the Ages,” with most of the episode being about Homelander returning to the laboratory where he was raised and Firecracker’s beef with Starlight. However, he hops into action when Frenchie finds himself in danger after trying to get some information about Firecracker.

Ezekiel gets the best of Frenchie, but Billy arrives in time to save him, freezing one of Ezekiel’s arms. Billy isn’t the man he once was, though, so he starts to lose momentum and get choked out. Before he totally blacks out, Billy sees Becca again, and she tells him to get up and fight. The screen goes black for a moment before Billy finds Ezekiel torn to pieces. He doesn’t know how he pulled it off, but it certainly has something to do with the parasite-like creature living in his body.

The Boys has yet to reveal what is inside Billy, but it’s sure to continue to play a major part in the series. The member of The Boys has to get Ryan back and take out Homelander, after all, and these new abilities could be the key to everything – even if they kill him.
