Marie isn’t taking to her new position, as all she wants to do is find her sister and live an everyday life. Needing a way out, Marie tasks her friends with digging up any dirt they can find on Cipher, such as the old man living in his house. Well, Gen V finally explained who the charred figure could be and how they can change not only its own future, but also that of The Boys.
Cipher Has More Connections to God U Than Just His Job
Cipher takes the gloves off in Gen V Season 2, Episode 5, when he throws Marie, Jordan Li, Emma Meyer, and Cate Dunlap into Elmira for their transgressions. A brief conversation with Sister Sage reveals that Cipher needs Marie to help him heal the world, which seems pretty bold for an educator. Unfortunately, Cipher doesn’t have to explain himself because the group escapes with the help of Sam Riordan in Episode 6, leaving him between a rock and a hard place. He visits Polarity, takes control of him to learn Marie’s location, and sends his enforcer, Vikor, to retrieve her. The plan is going swimmingly until Zoe Neuman shows up and kills the Thor pastiche, allowing everyone to escape with former Vought CEO Stan Edgar.
Edgar is looking to take the fight to Vought, and since Marie is so important to his former employer, he wants to get to her first. After arriving at Edgar’s hideout, the two sides exchange information. Learning about the old man Cipher’s housing prompts Edgar to recall an old rumor he heard when he first joined Vought, which claimed Godolkin was still alive. If Cipher really does have Godolkin, retrieving him could be the key to bringing down Vought and Homelander, as he knows everything about controlling and eliminating Supes. The only problem is that Edgar has no idea what kind of state Godolkin is in mentally and whether he’s the one actually pulling Cipher’s strings.
