Susan Heyward Talks Sister Sage’s Plan for Final Season of ‘The Boys’
As you all know, as far as the superhero genre is concerned, The Boys is one of the most watched and popular series. Based on the comic book series of the same, this dark take on the superhero genre gained a lot of traction on Amazon Prime and keeps pushing the boundaries of what can be shown on TV in a number of ways.
After four successful seasons and a spin-off series, the showrunners are currently working on the fifth and final season of the show. Everyone has been making subtle allusions to the show’s amazing ending, and given where the fourth season left us, we can sort of believe them.
Of course, this is where the characters come in, as the fans simply want to know what is going to happen to their favorite characters from the series, or some of their least favorite as well. We don’t know where you’d put Sister Sage, but we do know that Susan Heyward, who plays the character in both Gen V and The Boys, gave us her opinion on what to expect from Sage in the final season.
As for Sister Sage, you probably know that she was the mastermind behind most of the events that happened in Season 4 and that it was thanks to her that Homelander ultimately managed to come to the United States Army. And while the two of them seemingly had a falling out, after which Sage returned to Homelander, one cannot help but wonder whether Sister Sage left anything to chance, i.e., whether all this is just a part of a bigger plan as fart as she is concerned.
This was the same logic that the Variety interviewer had when he asked Susan Heyward about Sage’s plan for the final season, i.e., whether everything that transpired was really unplanned, or whether Sage actually took all of this into account and is now planning something even bigger in the final season:
Sage returns to Homelander at the end of the finale after he sent her away and abandoned her plan, just so she can tell him everything has turned out exactly as she orchestrated it. Now she’s teasing a “Phase 2” — is that to help Homelander further, or is she playing a larger game?
SUSAN HEYWARD: I think she’s survived in the world by playing many different chess games at once, and preparing for a lot of different situations. So she’s always doing what’s in front of her, and she’s always preparing for four or five possibilities. And it’s really, really been fun to keep people on their toes about what those possibilities might be. She siphons power from other people’s uncertainty.

This seems like a very interesting tease, so we’ll just leave it at that for a while until we get some official confirmation!
