What Happened in Gen V Season 2 Episode 7?
Episode 7, titled “Hell Week,” was packed with revelations that set the stage for the finale. The episode confirmed one of the series’ biggest mysteries — the identity of the burnt man.
It turns out that the man inside the hyperbaric chamber is Thomas Godolkin, the founder of Godolkin University, who was long presumed dead. In a shocking twist, Thomas has been controlling Doug Brightbill, a powerless human who has been posing as Dean Cipher. The real Cipher never existed — Doug was merely a puppet manipulated through psychic control.
Marie’s attempt to heal Thomas reignites chaos on campus. Not only does she cure Polarity’s seizures, but she also restores his powers, creating new tensions among the supes. Meanwhile, Thomas begins using his mind-control abilities to target weaker supes, forcing one to take his own life as part of his twisted plan to create “god-tier” superheroes.
The revelation of Thomas’s survival sets up a dramatic confrontation for the finale — one that could reshape the power structure at Godolkin University and beyond.
What to Expect from the Finale: Episode 8 “Trojan”
The season finale, “Trojan,” is expected to deliver the ultimate showdown between Marie, her allies, and Thomas Godolkin. With the truth about Cipher exposed, the stakes have never been higher.
- Thomas’s Plan: Now that his identity is revealed, Thomas will likely execute his final scheme to eliminate weak supes and create a new race of superior beings.
- Marie’s Role: As Thomas sees her as the key to his plan, Marie must make impossible choices to stop him — or risk becoming his weapon.
- Connections to The Boys: The finale is rumored to set up the next season of The Boys, potentially showing how events at Godolkin tie into Homelander’s growing dominance in the wider Vought universe.
Expect the finale to mix psychic warfare, moral dilemmas, and high-stakes action, bringing the season to an emotionally charged close.
