Yeah, it's a testament to how much suspense and tension are building in our main plotlines that Frenchy/Kimiko, which has more or less been "the heart" of the show to this point, feels like a distraction. And it definitely gives the vibe of one or both of them dying at season's end-- lots of stuff about how they both want out, they both need the other, they both loathe who they've been, etc. Feels like one of them makes an ultimate sacrifice. I don't know, maybe I'm just assuming, but their stuff has really felt like "there's no escape but death" this season.
Homelander definitely has his hands full. There's obviously no chance he dies, though, lol. The show is just so centered on him. It did lead me to wonder what consequence he might face, though. Maybe the loss of some of his power. Maybe capture at the hands of Butcher/Vought.
But more realistically, it just leads to his further ascension. A run for President certainly feels directly in line with what they've been building toward, lol.
