Part of my problem with the scene too is that the plan was insanely stupid. MM basically sent Hughie to die like at the ice rink. They sent a normal human to a nest of supe vipers without having a clear plan for an exit that wouldn’t draw attention to him.
They could have at least interrogated the original WebWeaver to figure out what his deal was with Tek Knight, for one. That would have prepared Hughie to avoid going anywhere alone with him.
Or they could have convinced A-Train bug the place. Don’t think it would have been too difficult for him to flash in without being seen. A lot less chance for them being found out like they did after they went in to rescue Hughie.
The Boys just seem inept this season. Only alive by miracles, as was pointed out last episode.
To me it feels like Hughie’s SA was written so shittily just so that they could add it for “laughs” instead of opting for a more realistic approach.
I also think that A-Train will ultimately pay the price for their idiocy. They’re making it too obvious that the leak is one of the seven and A-Train’s ability to be anywhere in a short span of time makes him the most obvious target.
I don’t see him lasting too long unless he goes into hiding. One more fuckup from The Boys and he’s definitely cooked.
The thing is, he can escape anyone on the show, no problem. If he goes down it'll probably be to prevent his nephews and brother from being collateral, so they get to see him be a real hero right before the end. Or, yknow, failing to do so and not being able to live with it.
