The Boys season 4 finale is approaching, and while it promises a thrilling conclusion to its current storyline, the show cannot afford to waste one of its key Gen V links before the finish.

The Supe virus, which Butcher and the team aim to use to murder both Homelander and Victoria, has been the central focus of the second part of The Boys season 4. The Supe virus was introduced in Generation V, with the show’s main characters attempting to thwart Godolkin University’s production of the illness.

However, Gen V season 1 concluded with a Supe rebellion in the school, which the main heroes were held responsible for. This resulted in the virus coming into the Boys’ hands, laying the groundwork for season 4, and maybe The Boys season 5. However, another part of the spinoff was included in the most recent season of the main series. This direct connection to Gen V should return in the season 4 finale, further connecting the shows.

Sam & Cate Need To Show Up Again In The Boys Season 4 Finale

The Pair Have Only Shown Up Once In The Boys So Far

Sam and Cate, the protagonists responsible for the Supe insurrection at Godolkin in Generation V, made their first appearances in The Boys season 4, episode 5. They are introduced as Homelander’s dedicated followers, supporting his plan to dominate the globe with superpowered individuals. While they didn’t get much of an opportunity to shine in the episode, their appearance hints at how closely linked both series will be from now on. However, it hinted that they would play a larger role in The Boys in the future.

The best time to illustrate their importance on The Boys‘ cast is during the season 4 finale. Their singular appearance in the main show so far may have given them a small role to play, but by bringing them back in the final episode, it can further cement their importance in the franchise. This could be through a small cameo alongside Homelander, to them fighting the Boys during a key battle. Any of these possibilities would be the perfect way to showcase their varied importance.

The duo may also demonstrate how lethal they are in both episodes, making them even more terrifying for any hero in the franchise.
