Jaz Sinclair as Marie on season two, episode six of “Gen V.”
Prime Video
Warning: Spoilers ahead for season two, episode six of Gen V.
Episode six of Gen V picks up immediately after the events of the prior episode, when Marie (Jaz Sinclair) brought her sister Annabeth (Keeya King) back to life using her powers.
Marie, Annabeth, Emma (Lizze Broadway), Jordan (London Thor and Derek Luh) and Cate (Maddie Phillips) scramble to escape Elmira with the guards in hot pursuit. While looking for a way out, Annabeth senses something and says he’s almost here, but it’s unclear who she’s referring to until Sam (Asa Germann) bursts through a wall to rescue them seconds later. Looks like he had a change of heart, after all.
Cipher (Hamish Linklater), meanwhile, is helping his incapacitated dad do leg exercises when he learns that Marie and the others escaped. Furious, he throws his phone and repeatedly slaps his dad, hurling insults at him before resuming the exercises.
Marie And The Crew Receive Help From Stan Edgar

After fleeing in a stolen van, the gang stops at an abandoned library to regroup. Jordan is astonished by Marie’s ability to bring her sister back from the dead and says that the status quo has shifted — Marie is one of the most powerful supes in the world and nothing’s going to be the same. Marie insists that nothing changes if they don’t want it to, and she reiterates that she loves Jordan.
Annabeth tells Marie that she’s a supe with pre-cognition abilities, hence how she knew Sam was coming. The caveat is that Annabeth’s visions of the future don’t always come true, nor can she control when she gets them. Annabeth still harbors hostility toward Marie about their childhood and blames her older sister for everything bad that’s happened to her, and wants to return to her normal life with Pam, but it’s too late for that.
After his seizure, Polarity (Sean Patrick Thomas) wakes up to Cipher in his house. The dean is certain that Marie will reach out to Polarity, and he wants him to convey a message: if she returns to campus and resumes training, he’ll leave her friends and Annabeth alone.
Cipher knows that Polarity’s health is declining and says that Marie could be the key to avoiding the same fate as Andre. Harper (Jessica Clement), who received an SOS from Emma via Instagram, calls Polarity and tells him that she’s in trouble. Cipher uses the opportunity to find out Marie’s whereabouts by puppeteering Polarity and speaking through him.
The gang is interrupted by Vikor (Tait Fletcher), who barges into the library to retrieve Marie and fight anyone who gets in his way. Just as Vikor is about to attack Marie, Victoria Neuman’s (Claudia Doumit) daughter, Zoe (Olivia Morandin), intervenes out of nowhere, using her tentacle-like eel mouths to kill him in a gory fashion.
Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito), who’s become Zoe’s guardian since Victoria’s death on season four of The Boys, also emerges. He shakes hands with Marie and explains that he used to run Vought, but he’s been “pursuing other opportunities” lately. He offers Marie and the crew safety in an impenetrable bunker 90 feet below ground.

At the hideaway, Stan explains that before Victoria died, she told him about Marie and piqued his interest. He tells Marie, Jordan and Cate that the Odessa Project was the brainchild of Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater), not Cipher, in the ‘60s. Godolkin’s goal was to create god-tier supes that were more powerful than the rest, but he wasn’t successful. When IVF emerged, Odessa subjects were injected with Compound V during the blastocyst stage. Over the years, only two subjects survived: Marie and Homelander (Antony Starr).
In another room in the bunker, Emma and Sam have their longest and most honest conversation of the season. He apologizes for how he acted last year and says that he misses her. Sam also says that he’s starting to get his life together and his new meds appear to be working so far.
Emma’s happy that Sam is working on himself, but says they can’t go back to how things were because they’re both different. Sam tells her that he doesn’t have an interest in reverting to that version of himself, and he was hoping that someday they could reach a point where they could date again. He leans in toward her, but ultimately stops himself from trying to kiss her.
The Old Man’s Identity Is Finally Revealed And Cipher Shares His Master Plan

Back in the kitchen, Stan says that Cipher shut down Project Odessa 20 years ago, soon after Marie’s birth, because she showed no signs of having powers and was considered a failure. Interestingly, Godolkin’s body was never recovered from the fire and there was a rumor that he survived, which would make him around 100 years old.
The young supes tell Stan about the old man in the hyperbaric chamber with burns all over his body and realize he’s Godolkin. Stan says he originally wanted to offer Marie safety in exchange for her loyal service once he regains Vought, but this changes things. If Godolkin is alive, the answers to controlling all supes — including Homelander — could lie with him.
Cipher, still at Polarity’s house, reveals his goal: he’s going to eliminate 75% of the weakest student population at God U. As Cipher tries to puppeteer Polarity into slapping himself, Polarity uses his powers to somehow block Cipher’s control and emit a blast that sends Cipher backward, crashing through the windows. By the time Polarity looks outside, Cipher has already escaped.
That night, Marie sneaks out of the bunker to take matters into her own hands. She’s stopped by Cate, who thinks that if Marie can heal her, maybe she can use her powers to help keep Cipher out of her head. Marie and Cate then walk away together, leaving the rest of the group behind.
New episodes of Gen V release every Wednesday on Prime Video, leading up to the season two finale on October 22.
