The Boys Season 1: 9 Questions In Desperate Need Of Answers
2. What Actually Happened Between Becca And Homelander?
One of the darkest plotlines in The Boys revolves around Homelander, Billy Butcher and his wife, Becca. Billy believes that Homelander raped and murdered Becca, which was the catalyst for him to begin hunting down supes in the first place. He’s advised of this by Grace Mallory, who recruited him and sent him down the destructive path we see him on in present day.
We’re also led to believe that Homelander impregnated Becca during their encounter and that the half-supe baby died immediately after being born. This is revealed to Homelander by Stillwell when he begins to ask questions about Becca’s whereabouts.
However, as the final scene of Episode Eight reveals, all is not as it seems. (More on that later.) We discover that a lot of what the show has suggested between Becca, Homelander and Billy was unreliable.
During the scene in which Homelander’s alleged attack on Becca takes place, all we see is CCTV footage of the pair entering a room and then Becca leaving around three hours later, adjusting her shirt. We haven’t heard Becca’s side of the tale yet; only Homelander’s claim that it was consensual and Billy believing otherwise.
Could there be more than meets the eye here too?
