    Welcome back to "Small Screen Couch Commentary" with your hosts, Alex and Billy! This week, we dive into the madness of The Boys Season 4, Episode 5, titled "Beware of the Jabberwock, My Son." Buckle up, folks, because this episode takes us on a wild ride through Vought's latest fan expo, heart-wrenching family moments, as well as Alex and Billy's latest theories about the show moving forward.

    As the episode unfolds, we see Butcher and MM visiting former Vought CEO Stan Edgar in prison. Edgar, ever the puppet master, refuses to help until Butcher drops a bombshell about Neuman injecting her daughter with Compound V.

    But the real emotional moment comes from Hughie, his father and now seemingly less estranged mother, Daphne. Hughie’s heartfelt confession about his childhood hero being his dad is a gut-wrenching moment, beautifully acted by Jack Quaid and Simon Pegg.

    The episode ends with Butcher making a morally gray decision, leading to Alex's new theory piggybacking off of Billy's from the last episode. Could there be any truth to what Alex believes is really happening?
