Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell in front of Karl Urban as Butcher and Simon Pegg as Hugh Sr. in The Boys

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Despite being absent for much of her son's life, Hughie's mom returns in The Boys season 4 — and one theory about the Amazon show suggests she's a secret villain. Since the beginning of The Boys, Hughie's main parental relationship is with his father, and even that bond becomes strained after he joins the titular team.

Hughie's Mom Injecting His Dad With Compound V Teases Her Hidden Motive Her Intentions May Not Be Benevolent After All There's a chance that Hughie's mom gives his father Compound V because she wants to spare Hughie the pain of losing his father. However, this turn of events could allude to a hidden motive for Daphne.

One of the biggest clues Hughie's mother is a villain in The Boys season 4 is that she works for Vought, albeit in a smaller capacity than most of the show's antagonists. It does feel convenient that Daphne reached out right before Hugh Sr.'s stroke, and it's even more suspicious that he gave her power of attorney instead of Hughie. This could be overlooked if she didn't have connections to Vought. But after her suspicious Compound V choice, viewers have to wonder if Hugh was manipulated into making this decision. It's possible Daphne reconnected with him for this purpose.

It probably wouldn't be difficult for Daphne to slip Hugh Sr. something that would give him a stroke, especially with Vought's help. This would tie multiple elements of The Boys season 4 together, and it could explain Daphne's actions in episode 4. Of course, that does raise questions about why Daphne or Vought would want to hurt Hughie's father. There are a few possible reasons they might be going after him.
