“Dirty Business”

Oh Hughie….

Spider Web!!!!

No…Zendaya

This entire episode made me feel icky.

I’m not sure what was ickier… the whole Tek Knight Tek Cave scene or the Victoria Neuman speech. Of course, there was also Firecracker’s breast milk.

The ick factor stepped aside for a powerful scene with Butcher and his internal monologue. The show confirmed one of the long running theories… Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Joe Kessler is indeed a projection of Butcher’s own mind, just like Becca is. The reveal was epic as both Becca and Joe were trying to convince Butcher to have the virus made that would kill all supes and Joe turned to tell Becca to shut up. Butcher realized that Joe could see Becca. It was a great reveal.

Poor Hughie. He was basically sexually assaulted by Tek Knight and Ashley, plus he was still dealing with last episode’s loss of his father. While it seemed funny at the time, it is actually rape and probably shouldn’t be used as humor.

If there was any doubt who Firecracker is based after, she made a “Jewish space lasers” comment.

The whole Homelander, Victoria Neuman, Sage story with the potential interment camps are just too close to what is going on in the real world. The timing of this episode’s release is unbelievably coincidental. The people at the Tek Knight party were some of the worst, most disgusting characters I have seen on this show yet.

And, by the way, I am not sure I’ll ever look at German Chocolate cake the same way again.
