** The opening montage is just a horrific demonstration of an isolated young man being radicalized into far right stochastic terrorism. He's listening to far right Alex Jones style podcasts, he's on internet image boards, he's a huge fan of Stormfront and catches all her appearances... and he becomes suspicious of the clerk at the bodega where he gets his morning coffee because a passing car's headlights make his eyes look strange for a moment, and murders him. To be clear, the young man isn't really the target of this TakeThat.

Congresswoman Victoria Neuman schedules a hearing against Vought, with Lamplighter as the chief witness.

After Vought uncovers Annie's betrayal, Hughie convinces Lamplighter to join him in a rescue attempt, which results in the latter immolating himself. Annie escapes with the help of Maeve, who subdues Noir.

Despite the loss of Lamplighter, Butcher strong-arms Vought scientist Jonah Vogelbaum into testifying against Vought. However, the hearing is attacked by the assassin who killed Raynor, resulting in the deaths of Vogelbaum, among others.

Meanwhile, Homelander and Stormfront manipulate Ryan into leaving Becca. A-Train grows suspicious of the Church of the Collective. Maeve and Elena break up over the former failing to save the airliner.

* InsultOfEndearment: The C-word Billy's constantly throwing around is regarded by him as a term of endearment. This is Truth In Television as Englishmen of his class background can easily distinguish between an affectionate use and a genuine insult, and the word is just nowhere near as offensive there to begin with.
