As a long-time fan of the superhero genre, I have seen my fair share of shocking twists and unexpected developments. But The Boys’ season 4 finale took the cake with its heart-stopping moments and gut-wrenching reveals. Among these was the fate of Ashley Barrett, the beleaguered CEO of Vought International.

In the final episode of The Boys’ fourth season, there were numerous surprising events and turns for the mature superhero show, leaving some moments, even a significant one in the heart of the episode, easily overlooked.

The story focused on Ashley Barrett, played by Colby Minifie, who was both the CEO and ex-head of Talent Relations at Vought International. Previously in the series, she had been informally removed from her CEO role following the arrival of Sister Sage, causing her increasing concern for her own security.

After discovering and participating in A-Train’s deceit against Homelander, her apprehension grew significantly and peaked during the season finale.

As a dedicated fan of The Boys, I’ve been hooked since the very first episode. And let me tell you, the latest twist with Ashley left me completely stunned! But what in the world happened to her at the end of season three?

In The Boys’ fourth season finale, Ashley is dismissed from the gathering of The Seven’s surviving members by Homelander – this includes Homelander himself, Firecracker, The Deep, and Black Noir.

At the gathering, Homelander reveals his scheme to eliminate President-elect Robert Singer and make Victoria Neuman the new president instead. However, this strategy undergoes significant changes by the season finale, as you may recall.

Homelander and Firecracker share their anticipation of chaos erupting. They plan to intervene, joined by all the other superheroes on Vought’s roster, to bring peace back to the city.

Homelander provides The Deep with a list of individuals to “permanently eliminate” in order to carry out their plan successfully. The Deep proposes adding Ashley’s name to the list if they are targeting those with “damaging information.” Homelander concurs.

Unnoticed by them, Ashley hid near the door and listened in. Suddenly, she seized the opportunity to escape. Dashing towards a cabinet filled with vials of Compound V, she bravely injected herself, understanding the risks but believing it was her last hope for living with extraordinary abilities.

After consuming Compound V, she collapsed instantly, letting out a painful scream as her bones reportedly broke and cracked.

Ashley’s wig came off as she fell, unveiling her scalp with visible signs of trichotillomania’s effects. We were already aware of her condition, which involves compulsively pulling out hair from the roots.

In the last appearance, Ashley was noticeably absent from subsequent scenes and her fate following the ingestion of Compound V remained uncertain.

It’s plausible that she has acquired certain abilities, but whether these abilities will prove beneficial or disturbing is yet to be determined.
