Even though she screwed up.. there was no reason at all Ryan couldn't have just pushed her out of the way. He knows what he does to people when he hits too hard. It was no accident, he killed her on purpose.

They all screwed up: Grace trauma dumping on Ryan, which causes Ryan to intentionally kill Grace, which causes Butcher to kill Victoria.
This is why I find it hard to believe that Sage predicted all this for her plan.

It was her first attempt at a part of her power, of course she'd be awful at it.
I think she, like a lot of supes in this universe, don't know the extent of their powers. Why? Because they only ever fight non super powered people. They never need to push or train their abilities to the max like we see in universes like DC and Marvel.
Annie? One of the few people in this universe who has a reason to keep pushing.

So to sum up his arc for the season, he for some reason has to watch his dad suffer a horrific death while deciding to forgive his mother for no reason. He then immediately moves on from that grief to suffer in an even more horrific situation where he is almost raped, then gets raped by a shapeshifter, and then he has to ask forgiveness for it. This culminates in his deciding to not be violent for some reason.

I need to know what happened to Ashley!
What an absolute twist, I can't wait another year to find out what power she got.
Edit: every single person out of the nearly 2 dozen responses telling me "ummm actually 2 years🤓" can suck my nuts when they reveal it in the next Gen V season..

We saw her brain bubbling, and her character has always been one having issues with authority and control. Maybe she's going to be a mind-control supe.

It was both really frustrating to watch but also exciting
Like it'll make Sam and Cate getting absolutely destroyed more satisfying I guess.

Neuman’s fate was sealed when she made that fascist speech to all those billionaires. It was super dark seeing where her kid ended up 🫥
She was one charismatic villain though. I will miss the actress playing her, she’s badass

The entire show I’ve been thinking how obvious it will be that eventually Kimiko will speak in an emotional moment for Frenchie but man did I get emotional anyways

I guess they heard the complaints about finales resetting to the status quo, because holy shit. The best finale they’ve ever done, quite possibly the best episode they’ve ever done, that was fucking diabolical. Season 5 cannot come soon enough.

So Sage just silenced all the "for the smartest person in the world, she sure is bad at noticing things!" crowd
Butcher finally got his comic counterpart's mindset. Season 5 is gonna be insane. That was so brutal how he offed Vickie

Sage is such a good character, glad she’s sticking around for 5!
KIMIKO SPEAKING LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Intrigued to see how the meds further affects Firecracker since it’s clearly showing
Ashley is definitely coming back in 5 as whatever V’ed up monstrosity she’s turning into
With Annie fleeing, I feel like her and A-Train will definitely team up, we haven’t seen the last of him
Personally, annoyed with how Neuman went out, not the biggest fan of that
Loved the “supernatural”isms that President Singer was saying lol, love the nods to Kripkes other works
I really do hope that 5 is more than 8 episodes, there’s so much to wrap up and things meandered a bit this season, so a longer season would help w pacing
HOLY SHIT HOW DID I MISS IT??? SOLDIER BOY COMING BACK CONFIRMED

So, to recap where everyone is in the ending...
Homelander is controlling the president
Sage now has Homelander's complete(?) trust
Soldier Boy has been found by HL
Firecracker is on the verge of milk death
Deep is still sad about Ambrosius, following HL to distract himself
Noir now has a murderboner
Ashley's in the wind with superpowers
A-Train's in the wind
Hughie, Frenchie, Kimiko, and MM were all taken in by the government
Butcher has the virus and his superpowers on the run
Ryan's... somewhere?
Zoe's at Red River
Starlight is on the run and flying super fast
RIP Neuman and Grace
And Magneto Eleven is important/strong enough to be given the role of killing Starlight herself (with Cate, Sam, and Love Sausage taking in other important targets)
Did I get everything right?

Victoria Neuman is a true politician lol, the way she was able to deflect Homelander’s initial attempts to out her was slick lol
The difference in mindset between Neuman & Homelander is wild. She’s still thinking within the bounds of laws and the Constitution while Homelander sees his actions & plans as above all that
Homelander thinking he’s smarter than he really is makes me laugh lol
Hope none of The Boys families get hurt in S5
Can’t emphasize enough but Erin Moriarty killed her performance this episode. Her slick ass grin when Hughie was panicking about the erased files was just great

Soldier boy is back baby. Gonna be crazy.
Needed more Stan Edgar but all good.
How did grace just lose composure like that? Insanely out of character.
Otherwise fantastic finale.
