[Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Boys, Season 5, Episode 5, “One-Shots.\"]
Between Homelander’s (Antony Starr) wildly impulsive behavior and the frequent extreme violence across the board in The Boys, we were bound to lose a number of key characters in the show’s final season. Season 5 kicked off with an especially surprising one, forcing fans to say goodbye to someone who’s been part of the Prime Video series since day one, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train. Now, Season 5, Episode 5, “One-Shots,” removes yet another major character from the equation. At the end of the episode, Homelander kills Valorie Curry’s Firecracker.
With her run on The Boys wrapping up in spectacular fashion, with quite a few exceptional performance beats, Curry took the time to swing by the Collider Ladies Night studio for an in-depth interview about her journey to The Boys, and her experience digging into the “sad, racist, homophobic piece of shit” that is Firecracker. In addition to discussing Homelander’s declaration that he is God and how that changes everything for her, we also talked about the only moment we get a peek at Misty Tucker Gray at the beginning of Episode 5, and, of course, her demise at the hands of Homelander.
