"But Justine Ferrara and Michele Fazas's script for "Trojan" plays up the connections, and not just in that final scene. Sage is back for Cipher to bounce off - except now Cipher is the OG Thomas Godolkin, binge-drinking and binge-eating and binge-fucking after decades spent "living inside a condom" of other people's consciousness. And while Homelander doesn't make a physical appearance like in the last finale, he looms large."
"After taking the original V-1 that made Soldier Boy and Stormfront ageless, he survived the fire (glimpsed again in a 1967 flashback) and picked a human puppet named Dr. Fielder to live through. Almost 30 years later, when that guy got too old, Godolkin settled on Doug as his replacement host and caretaker, then hopped to his body and made him kill Fielder."
Season two of Gen V increases crossovers with The Boys universe, reflecting Homelander's governmental rise and its campus-level effects. The show avoids major continuity-altering moves to preserve the overarching timeline until The Boys concludes. Episode "Trojan" heightens connections by reintroducing Sage and recasting Cipher as the original Thomas Godolkin, a figure who now binge-drinks, binge-eats, and binge-fucks after decades inhabiting other people's consciousness. Godolkin survived by taking the original V-1, inhabited Dr. Fielder, later moved into Doug and forced him to kill Fielder, planted Odessa for Starlight, and manipulated Marie into healing him voluntarily.
