The search for Kate (Victoria Diamond) takes Danny (Matt Barr) and Lexi (Sofia Pernas) to Vietnam where they enlist the help of Shaw (Michael James Shaw) where they learn she isn’t so much kidnapped as working for the CIA who staged her abduction to try and spur the pair into finding the Soul of Genghis Khan. Instead time is wasted looking into the people tied the shadowy organization after the banner including sneaking into an underground fighting ring where Lexi runs into her old partner Violet (Michelle Lee).

Following the events of the previous season, Hughie (Jack Quaid) has a desk job and is now running Butcher (Karl Urban) and The Boys, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is offered a major promotion, and Homelander (Antony Starr) is still in damage control mode for dating a Nazi.
