Gen V season 2 episode 7 focuses on Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) and Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) as they attempt to rescue Vought scientist Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater) from Cipher (Hamish Linklater). Godolkin holds crucial knowledge that could be key to stopping Homelander (Antony Starr), making the mission both dangerous and essential.
Unfortunately for the Gen V team, after Marie uses her powers to heal the badly burned Godolkin, he shockingly reveals himself as the one who has orchestrated the entire plot. The person known to the world as Cipher turns out to be an ordinary man named Doug, whom Godolkin was controlling like a puppet. Cipher’s goal of cleansing the university of weak Supes is what Godolkin has wanted all along.
With Godolkin established as the real antagonist of Gen V season 2 and his return to full power, the scales of power are tipping in The Boys universe. His impact on the university and the world will likely be evident in the season finale, which is scheduled for the upcoming week, as well as in the final season of The Boys, set to air in 2026.
Gen V, Season 2, Episode 8, will be available for streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video starting October 22, 2025.
