As you are all aware, The Boys is one of the most popular and well watched superhero series. Based on the same comic book series, this dark take on the superhero genre quickly grabbed traction on Amazon Prime and continues to push the boundaries of what can be presented on TV in a variety of ways.

After four successful seasons and a spin-off series, the showrunners are currently working on the show’s fifth and final season. Everyone has been making subtle hints to the show’s incredible finish, and given where the fourth season left us, we can kind of believe it.

Of course, this is where the characters come into play, as fans are curious about what will happen to their favorite characters from the series, as well as those of their least favorite. We’re not sure where you’d put Sister Sage, but Susan Heyward, who plays the character in both Gen V and The Boys, has shared her thoughts on what to anticipate from Sage in the final season.

As for Sister Sage, you probably know that she was the mastermind behind most of the events that happened in Season 4 and that it was thanks to her that Homelander ultimately managed to come to the United States Army. And while the two of them seemingly had a falling out, after which Sage returned to Homelander, one cannot help but wonder whether Sister Sage left anything to chance, i.e., whether all this is just a part of a bigger plan as fart as she is concerned.

This was the same logic that the Variety interviewer had when he asked Susan Heyward about Sage’s plan for the final season, i.e., whether everything that transpired was really unplanned, or whether Sage actually took all of this into account and is now planning something even bigger in the final season:

Sage returns to Homelander at the end of the finale after he sent her away and abandoned her plan, just so she can tell him everything has turned out exactly as she orchestrated it. Now she’s teasing a “Phase 2” — is that to help Homelander further, or is she playing a larger game?

SUSAN HEYWARD: I think she’s survived in the world by playing many different chess games at once, and preparing for a lot of different situations. So she’s always doing what’s in front of her, and she’s always preparing for four or five possibilities. And it’s really, really been fun to keep people on their toes about what those possibilities might be. She siphons power from other people’s uncertainty.

This seems like a very interesting tease, so we’ll just leave it at that for a while until we get some official confirmation!
