Every time the boys failed to accomplish something in season 4

• they tried to use acid on Neuman but she was immune

• billy tried to convince Ryan to come back with him but ryan said no

• starlight tries to stop a riot from breaking out after homelander’s trial but it gets out of hand and people get violent

• MM tries to get Todd back, but Todd gets killed

• billy plans to betray Hughie to get dirt on neuman so she helps get ryan away from homelander, but he changes his mind

• the boys try to grab Sage but she outsmarts them

• the boys try to get firecracker but she runs away (I might be wrong about this because they kinda just let her leave)

• butcher plans to kidnap Ryan but changes his mind

• hughie tries to plant a bug on Neuman but gets caught by homelander and has to flee

• starlight plans to help the anti supe law get passed in exchange for the guy running for president to promise to take down vought. But then she gets baited into attacking firecracker and he can’t be associated with her and she wouldn’t be able to help the bill

• the boys try blackmail firecracker but she gets ahead of it.

• frenchie tries to find dirt on firecracker in her trailer but gets attacked and presumably they find nothing.

• we learn that billy tried to stop his death with compound V but it didn’t work.

• hughie tries to get compound v for his dad but changes his mind about using it

• despite hughie deciding not to use V, his mom uses it on his dad. (Admittedly these last two might cancel out)

But don’t worry. They’ll get ‘em next time
