Finale Details and Episode 7 Recap
What to Expect in Episode 8: “Trojan”
The Season 2 finale is poised to deliver an intense confrontation. The episode’s official description on Prime Video hints at the high stakes: “You’ve been selected for the 10:30 AM session. Once a session begins, students may not leave for any reason. By accepting this invitation, you assume inherent risks involved with this activity including but not limited to physical harm, injury, or death”.
This aligns with the central conflict established in Episode 7: Thomas Godolkin, now restored to his body, has begun executing his plan to “cull the herd” at Godolkin University, eliminating Supes he deems unworthy. The finale will see Marie and her allies making a final stand to stop his murderous spree.

Major Episode 7 Recap: “Hell Week”
Episode 7 delivered one of the season’s biggest twists. What initially appeared to be a rescue mission saw Marie successfully heal the severely burned man she believed was Thomas Godolkin. However, this act unleashed the season’s true villain.
In a stunning revelation, it was exposed that Dean Cipher was not a Supe at all. He was actually Doug Brightbill, a normal human who had been used as a psychic puppet for the real Godolkin for years. The powerful Supe had been pulling the strings all along, using Brightbill as his avatar. With Marie’s healing, Godolkin is now more powerful than ever and free to enact his brutal vision for the university.
How the Finale Connects to The Boys Universe
Gen V has never existed in a vacuum, and the finale is expected to further deepen its connections to the parent series. According to early analysis from IGN, the finale “ties back to The Boys in surprisingly profound ways,” even directly laying the groundwork for The Boys Season 5.
This crossover potential is significant. With Homelander’s reign tightening over America and a war brewing between Humans and Supes, the events at Godolkin University could have direct consequences for the broader world. Marie’s extraordinary blood-manipulating powers, which have already been shown to heal other Supes, are seen by some as a potential key to challenging Homelander himself.
