While driving with the prison’s security escort, the guard’s head suddenly explodes in a very familiar way.
Stan, unfazed by the murder, wipes his face with a handkerchief before awaiting his own bloody fate. However, before his head could explode as well, Victoria appears at his door.
The two don’t speak a word to one another, but it’s implied that, despite her betrayal, Victoria still harbors a lot of affection for her adoptive father and doesn’t want him to go back to his cell.
However, Victoria’s decision to keep Stan free could be coming from a selfish place as she’s currently in a dangerous pact with Homelander and Sister Sage, so she could be looking for an ally for whatever is coming in the next few episodes.
