Karl Urban as Billy Butcher talking to Ryan in The Boys season 4
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Eric Kripke, series creator and showrunner of The Boys, explains why Billy Butcher is having hallucinations in season 4. The new season sees Butcher at his lowest point, with only six months left to live, and ousted from the Boys by their new leader, Mother's Milk . He's also struggling to keep the promise he made to his wife Becca before she died that he would keep her son Ryan safe.
One, I love Shantel, and I’ll work with her every chance I get. We really wanted to present a Butcher at war with himself this season. He’s only got six months to live. He needs to decide, is he going to fulfill his promise to Becca, or is he going to give into all of his worst impulses? So we thought to really dramatize that promise that he made, to sort of bring her back as sort of the angel on his shoulder that he’s conflicted by, was a good way to show his inner turmoil.
The hallucinations of Becca have so far prevented Butcher from giving in to his worst impulses in season 4. She talked him out of betraying Hughie Campbell , the only true friend he has left. Her influence and the promise he made her also convinced him to not go through with drugging Ryan as he and new The Boys character CIA agent Joe Kessler had planned.
While she is the angel on his shoulder, Butcher's old friend Kessler is already becoming the devil on his other shoulder. Giving Butcher fentanyl to drug Ryan is only the beginning of his negative influence. Kessler has no moral qualms about what it will take to defeat Homelander and other Supes before it's too late for humanity to fight back.
