Gen V spoilers follow! Gen V episode 4 has premiered on Prime Video this week and The Boys fans were taken aback by the ending to the episode. In a climactic moment with Sam, Marie is reassuring him that they’ll take care of him, even protect him from whatever is happening with The Woods. As she speaks though, the scene hard cuts to black, only to fade up on Marie waking up in bed, sleeping next to the female version of Jordan Li. There’s no dialogue in that moment leading to…credits… and confusion. Gen V doesn’t even include a promo for next week’s episode, leaving fans totally bewildered. But lucky for you, there’s an easy explanation for Gen V episode 4’s ending.

Gen V Episode 4 Ending Explained

For Gen V fans confused by the ending, the episode does actually make it clear what happened. Recall at the start of the episode when Marie meets another student named Rufus. She goes to him for help, having heard he’s psychic, but what becomes clear later is that he has some kind of trance-inducing pheromone power. Rufus uses it on Marie previously as she goes from sitting on a bench with him to in a chair in his room, seemingly with nefarious intentions in mind. Though it seems like Marie takes Rufus out of the equation by exploding his penis, he is almost certainly the reason behind the confusing ending, as the abrupt conclusion to the scene is nearly identical to what happened earlier in the episode.
