\n\tThe boss of Prime Video<\/a>\u2018s The Boys<\/a> franchise recently admitted he was \u201cirritated\u201d that \u201cvery, very smart\u201d fans of the collegiate spinoff series figured out the twist of this week\u2019s penultimate episode \u201cHell Week\u201d: that Hamish Linklater<\/a>\u2018s Dean Cipher is actually a non-Supe under the mind control of God U founder Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater<\/a>).<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI\u2019m well aware that a lot of the fans online have been picking apart the clues and got on the right scent. I give them credit,\u201d Kripke told The Wrap<\/a>. \u201cIn the same breath, I\u2019m irritated.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIn the penultimate episode, the burned body Cipher has been caring for is revealed to be that of Godolkin. Not realizing it\u2019s actually Godolkin\u2019s will to \u201ccull the herd\u201d by killing off weaker Supes, Marie (Jaz Sinclair<\/a>) restores the Project Odessa mastermind to full health, unwittingly setting him free to enact his plan.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThat primarily came from [showrunner] Michele [Fazekas]<\/a> and Tom Schnauz<\/a>, her executive producer,\u201d added Kripke. \u201c[It was] just a super cool twist [and] just a really fun notion that this whole time you think Hamish is the bad guy, and then it turns out that the bad guy is actually Thomas Godolkin, which is the first person you saw the whole season and just bringing it all back to just the guy who founded the place in the first place \u2013 that was really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tEthan Slater as Thomas Godolkin in \u2018Gen V\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrime Video<\/p>\n \n\tAfter Marie and The Boys\u2018 Homelander (Antony Starr<\/a>) were revealed to be the only two surviving products of Project Odessa, Kripke revealed that the fifth and final season of the parent series will be set \u201cabout six months after Gen V season 2 ends.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Ethan](\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-deadline-2019\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.jpg\")
