Warning, this article contains spoilers for The Boys season 4 episode 3!
At the end ofThe Boys season 4episode 3, we see The Deep walk in onSister Sageeating junk food and watching reality TV in a very unlike-her mellow mood. The two proceed to bond over Transformers 2 and have sex until the camera pans down on what looks like a long metal spike, officially called an orbitoclast, with blood on the end of it. Yes, that’s right, it seems as though Sister Sage has lobotomized herself.
Although the series doesn’t confirm it, considering her new chilled-out state and her willingness to touch The Deep, it is pretty obvious that she has undergone some kind of mental change. Why does she do this? Well, fans have their own theory on why Sage mutilates herself, particularly revolving around escapism
“Sister Sage performs a lobotomy on herself because ignorance is bliss, hence the fast food, reality shows, and fucking The Deep. As an intellectual Supe, she can’t unwind like others do. If you notice, she mostly surrounds herself with books,“tweetedone fan.Another agreedadding, “It was like her ‘high’ moment to unwind cause I’m pretty sure having to do all this crap and being the smartest person in the world takes a toll on her.”
However, it seems like not everyone caught it at first glance, and don’t worry if you didn’t spot it. In fact, other viewers thought that Sage had something else up her sleeve. “Thought she was setting him up for a case,” suggestedone fan. Anotheradded, “I honestly assumed she cut upDeep’s octopus honey.”
But, wait a minute, if she has lobotomized herself, how will she help Homelander with her wisdom? Viewers have the same question asone asked, “I take it she has the ability to heal?” to whichanother Twitter userreplied, “On her page they were going through in the meeting room, one of her listed powers was moderate healing.” So it looks like Sister Sage is here to stay, no matter how many times she pricks her own brain.
