Remember everything I made you forget.

Wow. Maybe Kate's more powerful than we thought. Sometimes the thoughts are so

loud. I feel like I'm going crazy. What if I told you? We could make the voices

stop. Oh, what I've asked you to do is difficult.

Forget about the woods. My brother is dead. You're the only one who can keep

your friends safe.

There are dangerous, evil people at that school.

What kind of hero is a fucking chicken shit to do anything heroic?

Fuck you. You can't trust anyone.

I want the girl.

She doesn't understand how powerful she really is.

She has a benefactor, and because of that, she's strictly off limits.

They were using Sam to augment Luke's powers.

What the fuck are you guys doing to me? But they were doing other stuff, too.

The virus only affects soups. Sheddy was directing it all. We killed a soup. So

she's the answer. Now can you make it contagious?

Andy? What did they do to you?

Well, transmission occurs through direct contact with bodily fluids. So,

depending on Andy's viral load... Can't we make it airborne?

Why? So it's more contagious.

I think we need to take a bit and assess what our long -term goals are.

I'm quite clear on that. Because if an airborne virus gets into the super -able

population, it could spread like wildfire.

Define wildfire.

I'm doubtful Vought would want us to entertain anything so reckless,

Indira.

It's a little late in the day to worry about what Vought wants, Edison.

And, uh, what would happen if I informed Vought of this?

I don't know. Tell me.

What would happen if you told Vaud you created a virus that kills suits?

I didn't. I didn't know. I never sign on for any of this. Of course you did.

This is your brainchild.

You invented it.

And now you're going to finish it.

Hello, sweetheart.

I need to see you.

What's wrong? Has something happened?

Everything is just so fucked up right now.

Please, can I come over?

Damn, I have a meeting in the city that I can't move.

Go to my house, fix yourself something to eat.

I'll be there soon. I'll take care of everything.

All right.

You taking medication today?

Yeah.

Take another.

You'll feel better.

It'll be all right, Kate.

We're coming to you live today from Cadolcan University, where campus police

expect mass protest leading up to today's town hall with the historically

unpopular and phony socialist scammer herself, vice presidential candidate

Victoria Newman, just as new rumors are surfacing that George Soros is killing a

new mechanic.

Chetty can't meet right now. The fuck does that mean?

Where is she? The city.

She'll be back later.

So what do we do?

I'll wait for her at her house, and then when she comes home, I'll make her tell

everyone everything.

Fucking liar.

Can't wait to go run back to shit. Don't let her go alone. She'll just stab us

in the back. How can we trust her when she's still hiding something? I'll go in

there.

It's okay.

No.

I'm going.

You can trust me. Stay out of our fucking heads.

Then maybe we'll trust you.

Jordan.

I swear.

I swear you can.

I want to believe you.

And I do.

Do you believe me?

You already know.

Fucking stop for a minute. She was reading our thoughts, Marie.

You know, she probably can't help it. Why are you making excuses for it? I'm

not.

Look, she could fuck with our heads any time she wants to, and she's not.

We have to believe she's on our side.

And you gotta stop turning into a dude when you want to make a point to us.

Fine. Fine.

We need Kate.

She's the only way to get Shetty to expose the woods.

Unless we get proof ourselves.

How? Shetty's in the city all day.

I got the key to her office.

Like, I'm her TA, remember?

Like, when we find proof about the woods or what they've done to Sam and those

other kids down there, it doesn't matter what Kate does.

And then what?

Post it on Insta?

You think they're gonna believe a black girl and a bi -gender Asian soup over

Vought? No, they're just going to twist it like they twist everything else.

Unless we get it to someone they will listen to.

Okay, these are all your clothes.

I'm going to take these to the sky for my voice and movement class.

I mean, it's kind of sketch, but for five ecstasy pills, we'll use higher

to incinerate everything. No questions asked, which is good.

And then... It'll be like it never even happened, right?

Right.

I did rip an entire person in half.

Yeah. I mean, in my defense, he was a puppet at the time, so...

Maybe you didn't do that because now I'm destroying the evidence and you don't

even remember now. I know.

You have so many things.

Okay, that is a normal amount of sex toys.

I like options.

Oh. Okay.

Okay. I stole these from the laundry room for you.

I think they're clean.

No, I like what I'm wearing.

It smells like you.

Oh, no, no. You gotta stay here.

Right. Yeah, no one can know where you are.

That makes sense.

Yeah. Please, super quick. I mean, I can get you food, too. You gotta be

starving. Oh, will that take you a very long time?

No, no. There's a Vodaburger right in Student Union.

You won't even know that I'm gone, okay?

The last time I had Vodaburger, I was with Luke.

In everything you've gone through, I mean, I'd be fucked up.

I mean, I'd be really fucked up.

But you're so sweet.

I mean, when you're not slaughtering a bunch of dudes, do not answer the door,

no matter what. Okay.

Stranger danger.

Stranger danger. Stranger danger. Yep. All right.

What's that?

I don't know.

This was hidden in her drawer.

All this stuff about a plane crash.

Trans -Oceanic Flight 37.

Yeah, I remember that.

Terrorists, right? Yeah, that's what they said.

Oh, my God, look.

Sheddy Lily, age 11.

Sheddy Paul, age 46.

Your family was on the plane.

Shitty, shitty, shitty.

You want me to increase the viral infection rate.

Right.

Kill them all, she says.

And sign my own death certificate.

How about you take a long drink of that

Indira?

You fucking cunt.

What did he say about infection rate?

You know some powerful people.

Thank you for meeting me.

A chat with a celebrated Vought psychologist who's now dean of their

superhero factory?

Who could resist?

You've got two minutes.

You'll want longer.

I'm sorry, this is at the school and Vought doesn't know? We're estimating

ten months to make it potent and contagious enough to get the job done.

It's getting harder to hide. That's why I need you.

For what, exactly?

I know you monitor Supes. Their team affiliations, their whereabouts. You

where to find all of them, even those that aren't under Vought's thumb.

We'll be able to neutralize them once and for all.

What you're describing goes beyond neutralizing.

It's a war crime.

This is a war. Us against them.

And so far they've been winning. The virus gives us a way to fight back.

It's genocide.

You need to stop what you're doing immediately.

If Bart gets wind of this, the Supes will crush you and everyone you care

Too late for that.

No matter how many of them you kill, none of this is going to bring your

and daughter back.

Or your grandchildren.

But it could save someone else's. A man who works for me, one of your fellow

countrymen, although...

I doubt you travel in the same circles, have the same rage. It's so consumed him

that there's nothing left. Trust me, you don't want to go down that path.

I'm doing this with or without you.

With you would be easier.

Together we can end it.

Finally.

Or I could have you arrested.

Or committed.

But I don't think you will.

Part of you agrees with me.

We're done here.

Wait. Pleasure to meet you, Dean Shetty.

Go back to your school.

Did you get all that?

Keep a close eye on him.

This is my best behavior.

This is my best behavior.

I wanted

you to know that I was good today.

I was very good.

I was well -behaved. Oh, hi.

You look so badass. You just think that

because I'm strong and mistreated.

Are you okay?

That is fucking amazing.

Steve, it's melting.

You've got to cry.

Is this allowed?

Aren't you going to get in trouble?

We're superheroes.

We can do whatever we want.

Okay.

supposed to stay here to wait for Emma?

Dude, Emma's at the party we're going to.

She is?

Yeah, sure. Whatever.

Come on.

Should an avowed superhero reformer be speaking at a college for superheroes?

To answer this question, we're joined by Gdolkin University trustee, beloved God

-fearing superhero who bleeds red, white, and blue, Polarity.

Hello there. Thank you for having me, Cameron.

Now, am I getting this right?

You're moderating Victoria Newman's town hall?

Cameron, Victoria Newman is being invited. Turns out Shetty is big into

Can you believe it?

Yeah.

I pictured her kitchen to be full of just, like, British tea.

Oh, yeah.

She's got that, too.

Why is he on Cameron Coleman? He doesn't have anything new to push until next

year. Moderating the Newman thing.

Shetty thought it would look better if an actual superhero was asking questions

about superhero issues.

Didn't he talk to you about that?

Andre, when was the last time you two talked?

When I found out he was Vought's bitch.

and when he told me not to rescue the kids that were trapped in prison under

school.

I'm sorry.

You know, when I was a kid, I wanted to be just like him.

But after everything we know about this place,

you don't have to be a fucking idiot to think any of it matters.

I just can't trust him.

So that's why I haven't talked to him.

And if I did, he'd probably just go to VOD anyway, so... Is that what you think

of me? That I'm just going to tell Shetty everything?

You tell me, Kate.

You're the one on my fucking head.

Well, Cameron, we here at Godalkin believe that speech is free.

And knowledge can be a superhero.

A super... power.

And... And it's a good thing that someone as versatile and

trustworthy as you has stepped up to ask the... tough questions that superheroes

and real Americans care about.

You are gonna love...

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Fuck!

Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! My God, my God. Buckle in. We gotta get going.

Seizing again.

Dad! Dad!

Do

something!

We need to wake him up!

Have you seen this guy?

Why? Are you stalking him or something? No. So you haven't seen him? No, I'm not

a fucking find my friends app. Go cock block someone else.

I thought you said Emma was here.

Oh, she's meeting us later.

If you're just joining us, I'm Cameron Coleman, pitch hitting for my good

Polarity, who had a last minute emergency.

Miss Newman.

You claim that the FBSA is here to protect people from superheroes, but at

own congressional hearing, Stormfront slaughtered multiple people. And on a

separate occasion, Soldier Boy nearly killed thousands of innocent people in

Manhattan. Now, both times, why were you just sitting back, snapping your gum,

watching America burn?

Look, Cameron, the thing that you need to remember here is that both those

instances caused a 30 % drop of public confidence in superhumans. And the FBSA

responded by actually strengthening protection of both... humans and

alike, leading to a record low number of violent incidents in both populations.

Or is your agency just an excuse for persecuting one of America's most

minority groups? Which is why they deserve to have a voice. If elected, our

administration wants to put a new position in government that allows the

superhuman community to have a seat at the table. Really? Yes.

That have anything to do with the fact that polls show your ticket is below 30

with the super -abled community?

No, Cameron. Let's open this up to the audience of America's Featured

Superheroes. Yes, over here.

Shit. Still no word from Kate. Not surprising.

Maybe we should check on her.

There's no time. Gotta find Newman and tell her what we know.

Any chance you know a teleporter?

No, but I can cause a distraction.

Jordan, what are you gonna do?

Don't get caught.

You're the girl who fucking tortured Emma, right? No, no, no, no.

I just gave her a plat.

Look at that.

Gordon Lee attacking her own kind. Say goodbye to number five, Gordon.

kill a human in broad daylight, unprovoked. Is he going to be held

Thank you. That is a good question. I have full faith in the legal system, and

Homelander should stand trial just like anybody else, and a jury of his peers

will decide that outcome.

Humans aren't our fucking peers.

Well, what about us, huh?

Suplies matter!

Can you state once and for all whether superheroes have civil rights?

Like all Americans, superhumans have civil rights and everything that comes

along with that.

Fuck yeah, we do!

And I get it. The superhuman community wants to make sure that the government

treating them fairly and addressing their unique concerns. Robert Singer and

know that most superhumans are law -abiding citizens.

Fucking narc, you don't know shit!

We can find common -sense solutions here. You do not control us!

This isn't about control. You will not control us! You will not control us!

is not about control. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. Look,

people are passionate about the issue. So am I. You will not control us! Why is

everyone so angry?

Because they're trying to limit us. Take away our power. The Homelander is

right. You will not control us! You will not control us! You will not control

us!

Ron Singer and I want to work with superhumans.

Just like you.

Like most of America, this crowd has rejected Victoria

Newman and her un -American anti -superhero agenda.

Miss Newman, do you have a minute? Step away.

Miss Newman, please, it's important that I speak with you.

You're Marie Moreau, right?

I was hoping I'd meet you.

You were?

Yeah, um, let's find someplace we can chat. Just the two of us.

Jordan!

Have you seen Sam? Are you fucking kidding me? No, where is he?

I don't know. I mean, there's so much security here. What if they found him?

Then we're fucked. Emma, he's the only proof we have that the woods exist.

Okay, he could be in real fucking trouble, Jordan. We gotta find him.

Emma. I missed you. You were supposed to be hiding.

I was shitting myself for you. I was waiting for you.

Emma, I drank beer.

There was this ice slide. I wish you'd seen it. And all of these superheroes

using their powers. It was the best. Some of the people here are a bag of

I guess, but come on. It's awesome being with people like us. Just having fun.

Okay, look. We need to get him out of here now. Okay, Sam. Sam, we gotta hide

you. It's okay.

We just gotta hide you.

Oh, man.

Oh, my God.

Now.

Oh, Kate.

Why are you in here with all the lights off?

I've been trying to call you for hours.

I'm sorry. My meeting went long.

You look so tired, darling.

Why don't we get you some rest?

We can talk later.

This can't wait.

You've not been taking your medication, Kate.

You know what happens when you don't. Got your prescription here.

No. All those pills ever did was make me numb.

They weren't helping me.

They were clouding me.

You talk, manipulate, control.

That's all you've ever done to me. That isn't true. And I'm fucking sick of it.

You say I'm doing the right thing.

It doesn't feel right.

What if I said you didn't have to do it anymore? Lie. Am I?

It's almost time to leave this place.

You're leaving me. No.

We are leaving.

Together.

After I've tied up a few loose ends, then all of the sacrifices, all of the

work will finally...

Pay off.

You want to make us sick? Not you.

No, I'm going to keep you safe. We need each other.

When I lost my husband and my daughter, I lost my entire world.

Every day I ask myself, why am I still here?

But in finding you, and with all our time together, I found

something truly special. My power.

Oh, Kate, you!

A girl who was just as lost and lonely as I felt.

Now I feel like you are truly mine, and I love you.

You're telling the truth.

I know you feel alone.

But we have each other.

One last push from you, and then we can leave all of this behind.

You will never be alone again.

My daughter's going to be so jealous that I met the guardian of the Vulcan

today.

We're huge fans.

Thanks.

I was hoping you'd come to my town hall today. Maybe ask a question. Your dean

didn't show up either.

Think a personal number or anything?

Yeah, I don't know.

It's okay.

It was a shit show anyway.

You know what?

We'll hide out in the green room until it all blows over out there.

Otherwise I think they might take off my hat.

Look, there's something I want to... Your powers are badass.

Coolest I've ever seen.

Thanks. Those lassos and blood swords must be fucking exhausting, though.

What else can you do?

Oh, that's about it. Oh, come on.

Tell me something about myself.

I... I don't understand.

You can sense things.

In blood.

Use that.

And tell me about me.

Oh, my God, you're... You're blood.

There's compound V in it.

You're a soup.

I knew you could do it. Good job.

How?

Why?

Here.

Give me your knife.

I thought I was the only one.

So you popped up at Red River.

I couldn't let them ship you off to their adult facility, so I got you in to

Alkin. I mean, don't get me wrong. You're awesome and everything, and you

on your own merits. I just gave you a little boost. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Why are you telling me this?

Because we understand each other.

You don't know anything about me. Oh, yes, I do.

I know that you've fought for every fucking thing you've ever got in your

I know that you're constantly lonely.

And you're afraid that you're going to hurt people.

Like you did with your parents.

And you feel like everybody is afraid of you.

Because you grew up hearing that your powers are too dangerous.

Too disgusting for anyone to ever want to adopt you.

I also know that every Friday for the past eight years, you've had fish sticks

with pink sauce as a treat.

Because I did, too.

You grew up at Red River?

Yeah.

Until I was 12.

I still can't have fish.

It's a residual trauma, just like the smell alone is horrifying.

They were wrong about you and your powers, Marie.

Exceptional girl.

Thank you.

Okay, enough nostalgia for one day.

You had something important you wanted to tell me, right?

There's a secret lab.

Under this school.

Called The Woods.

Where they experiment on kids.

They're infecting them with a virus that can kill Supes.

A virus, are you sure?

There's a Dr. Cardoza.

He works in the woods. He knows all about it.

Look, you have to tell everyone what Vought is doing.

I'll handle it.

Handle it? Yeah. What does that mean?

That means I got it from here, Marie, okay? You can go back to being a

What? No, no. I can't just go back to being a student when this whole fucking

school is a lie. Listen to me.

God, you is your shot at finally having some control over your life. Once that

dashes people like you and me inside Red River, it's fucking impossible to break

out of that orphanage to institution pipeline without help. Trust me. Look, I

have a platform now where I can help people. I mean, isn't that the entire

of being a superhero? You don't have shit.

Marie Moreau, guardian of Godalkin, is marketing, okay?

And you better believe that Vaught will ship her off to the adult facility if

she keeps fucking up her situation.

But the first black woman in the seven, she has real power.

She's friends with the vice president. That woman, she can make a real

difference politically, culturally.

Maybe she can even find Annabeth.

Two paths, Marie.

You have to choose. You can't have both.

I haven't been around.

Kate? Kate?

Are you okay?

Your eye.

What happened?

I'm okay.

And now she'll do whatever we want.

Maybe you should rest.

I feel fine.

It wasn't my powers that were fucking me up.

It was the pill she was giving me.

I've never felt better. Kate.

Listen to your friends. They care about you. Shut up!

You had your chance to talk, and now it's my turn. Please, Kate, you don't

to do this. I love you. I know you love me. It doesn't change the fact that

you're a fucking bitch.

Kate, what the fuck is going on?

Don't worry. We're on the same side.

Okay, sorry. Can I get a quick spark note version? Because I have no idea

the fuck you guys are talking about.

Tell them what you told me.

This school is a front.

Thomas Godalkin was a behavioral scientist. He built this place to figure

what makes soups tick, their weaknesses, how to control them.

You're not here to study. The school is here to study you, your subjects, not

humans. We're better than humans.

We found out she had some kind of virus to kill the kids in the woods. She wants

to make it more contagious.

She wants more than that.

Don't you?

I want it to spread across the globe.

And kill all of you.

Holy fuck.

Why? We don't want to hurt you or anyone.

You know that.

Don't lie. Tell her.

Homelander.

So, all this because he lasered that Starlighter dude?

It's fucked up, don't get me wrong. But, like, killing all of us seems...

Seems a little melodramatic.

Homelander?

He took down that plane.

He killed your family?

It's not just him.

You all leave a path of destruction behind you. You have ruined countless

Look what you did to your parents.

You can't help it.

It's your species.

Tell them what your last assignment was for me.

Kill everybody in the woods.

Jesus Christ, did you?

Of course not, Jordan.

I'm trying to show you what kind of a monster she is.

She wants to wipe us off the face of the earth. They all do.

So we have to strike first.

Starting with her. Kate, make me forget. We can start over. I'm going to take

care of you. Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up. Kate!

Indira!

It's time.

Fuck. Kate. Holy shit.

Holy fucking God.

Holy fuck.

No. Don't help.

Hurry. Don't stop it. Kate.

Kate, you don't need to do this.

We have Newman. She's going to stop her.

I can't trust anybody. They'll only hurt us. This is the only way.

Okay. You know what you've done.

Justice.

For all of us.

The virus isn't very contagious, thank God.

It can survive for a few days at ambient temperature, but you want to get these

test tubes into cold storage sooner than later.

NIH will know what to do.

Speaking out against Vaught takes a lot of courage, Dr. Cardoza.

I was so relieved when you contacted me about my research.

I couldn't stand by any longer while Dean Shatty twisted my work.

You and I, we have the same goals, right?

Compassionate control.

That is such a great phrase. Do you mind if I steal that?

Sure. It's all yours.

And you get me and my family out before things take a turn.

Witness protection, right? Yeah.

Already taken care of.

But that's all of it?

Yeah.

And you're the only one who knows how to replicate it, right?

We'll make sure this stays out of the wrong hands.

Hey.

You're a 21st century American hero, Dr. Cardozo.

There must be a little truck.

Well, do, do, do.
