Sister Sage, Anika and others in “Unfinished Business”

Sister Sage

So, tell me about your relationship with Starlight. I understand you two were friends.

Friends? Um, no, I wouldn’t say that we were friends. I mean, we shared an Almond Joy from time to time.

Sister Sage

Our records show you made a phone call to the Starlight House within the past month, so…

Homelander

Are you working with her?

Uh, no, I–I was just donating some clothes.

Homelander

So why is your heart pounding like a little bass drum?

I didn’t do anything, okay? I swear.

Sister Sage

Okay. Let’s–Let’s just all calm down, okay? You’re not in trouble here, Anika. [laughs] Starlight’s the bad guy here. So, look. We’re gonna find out anyway, so you just tell us the truth. We swear you’ll be fine. [to Homelander] Right?

Homelander

Yes. Yes, I… I swear. I… I swear on the life of my son.

[pause; looks at Ashley, who nods] Okay. Yes, Starlight did call me a few days ago. She just wanted some help tracking–

Homelander

What? She confessed. Leak plugged.

Sister Sage

You don’t think the next word out of her mouth might have been useful?

Homelander

[shrugs] Guess I am that petty.
