The Boys fans predict Ashley's key role in Season 5 after dramatic twist
*Warning: contains major spoilers for Season 4 Episode 8 of The Boys*.
The Boys fans were left speechless after the latest episode of the Amazon Prime series, which was filled with shocking plot twists that brought the show's penultimate season to a head.
Viewers are still trying to process a particularly disturbing scene involving Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and vice president-elect Victoria Neuman (Claudia Domit). However, it's the fate of Vought CEO Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) that has really set tongues wagging in fan circles.
Homelander (Antony Starr) demands Ashley to compile a list of Vought employees who could potentially spill damaging secrets about the Seven. With no other option, she dutifully creates the list and delivers it to the Seven's meeting room.

Before the meeting concludes, The Deep (Chace Crawford) points out that Ashley knows more about the group than anyone else, leading to her name being added to the hit list with Homelander's consent, reports the Mirror.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, she injects herself with the blue substance in a desperate bid to transform into a Supe, a move that viewers know can lead to catastrophic results.
The gripping cliffhanger of The Boys left viewers on the edge of their seats as Ashley was seen writhing in agony, her scalp undergoing a bizarre transformation due to the surge of Compound V. The scene cut off abruptly, leaving fans to speculate about the fate of this long-suffering character.
What superpowers will Ashley have in Season 5 of The Boys?The Deep, Ashley and Sister Sage in The Boys (Image: (Image: AMAZON PRIME))Eagle-eyed fans believe they've pieced together the puzzle of Ashley's future, including her potential abilities and pivotal role in the final season of The Boys. Ashley's battle with trichotillomania, a disorder marked by an irresistible urge to pull out one's hair, has been well-documented throughout the series.
As the last moments of the season show Ashley's scalp undulating ominously, some viewers have theorised that she might emerge as The Boys' version of Medusa. One viewer hypothesised: "I'm guessing because it had something to do with her scalp she might get Medusa from Marvel powers where she can control her hair and use it as a weapon. It would be ironic for all the hair that she has lost."
Another fan joined the speculation, commenting: "I thought the same thing, the only reason that have me scepticism is because of the amount CGI it would require. I'm guessing that it's similar to Zoey's Medusa thing, that's it's retractable."

Prime Video has yet to confirm a release date for Season 5. However, considering the lengthy intervals between previous seasons, it might not be until 2026 that we see it released.
