[The Deep plays a voice recording of Annie calling Vought security for Ashley, A-Train and Homelander]
[over the recording] I'm Starlight, and I'm telling you that you need to evacuate the Tower now.
[over the recording] Why?
[over the recording] Because Soldier Boy is alive, and he–
We ran it through the voice thingamabob. It's really her, so… you know, I think we should probably evacuate.
Nobody's evacuating anything. We have to project strength.
Right. No, that's smart. Strength. Okay, so my Angel Fish–that's what I call Analytics–we think Soldier Boy's coming for Noir. Last member of Payback, right? So we should use Noir as bait. And that way it draws Soldier Boy directly to the…

[Homelander motions for The Deep to come closer to him. He whispers something in The Deep's ear.]
Sir… [chuckles] That's sort of treason.
Big word.
Anything you need, Homelander. Sir.
Ashley, take off that wig.
What wig?
[Homelander just glares at her. Ashley reluctantly reaches above her head, and takes off her red-headed wig, revealing that she is mostly bald from pulling her hair out. A-Train and The Deep look shocked.]
Hmmm. [to A-Train] And then, there's you. How could you kill one of your own kind in cold blood? You are gonna tell the world that we are the one and only true justice. Noir was worth more than all of you put together. You're not my family. I don't need any of you. Remember that.
