Over the years, The Boys has consistently delivered shocks incomparable to other TV series. In Season 4 already we’ve gotten that raunchy scene with Rob Benedict’s Splinter and a Vought on Ice rehearsal gone deliciously wrong, but in the third episode (available to stream with an Amazon Prime subscription ), there was also a pretty significant reveal involving one of Season 4’s new supes, Sister Sage. The disturbing lengths that she went to in order to quiet her brain is stuck in my head (much like that bloody lobotomy tool), and I’m left with one big question: Was this a one-time thing or a regular occurrence? Susan Heyward has joined the cast of The Boys Season 4 as Sister Sage, whose superpower is being the smartest human on the planet.
“We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here” saw her get recruited to The Seven, a role that made her obviously uncomfortable but was necessary to placate Homelander (Antony Starr). After witnessing just how unstable the milk-loving supe can be when he offed another human for no reason, Sister Sage chose to veg out in hilariously basic fashion. We’re talking Bloomin’ Onion-eating, Say Yes to the Dress -watching basic.
It was clear that something was amiss, especially when she showed interest in The Deep (Chace Crawford), and sure enough, the camera panned down to reveal a bloody tool, suggesting that she’d lobotomized herself. It is straight-up horrifying to think that Sister Sage would have to go full lobotomy, sticking a tool �.
