Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Boys season 2 finale.
The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke confirms that the mysterious (and terrifying) Cindy will return in the future. Amazon Prime's The Boys just wrapped on season 2 with an action-packed finale. This season was just as crazy as fans expected, and had everything from impaled whales to deadly tree nut allergies.
Cindy (Ess Hödlmoser) was introduced as one of Vought's test subjects in the Sage Grove Center with telekinetic powers. After all of Sage Grove's inmates are accidentally sprung from their cells, Cindy gives The Boys a firsthand look at her powers. After a security guard shoots at her, Cindy turns and coolly extends one hand, causing the man's head to explode. She's later seen at the end of the episode, hitchhiking to an unknown location.
The Boys' showrunner Kripke confirms in a Twitter video that Cindy will be back. Kripke states that Cindy is definitely still alive and just as dangerous as she was before. However, Kripke admits he's not sure when Cindy will make a reappearance but promises fans that they'll see her again before the end of the show. You can catch Kripke's full quote—as well as the tweet—below:
"Cindy's out there, man, as dangerous as ever. Look, when you're running the show, it's always smart to plant little land mines everywhere that you can go back to and use - and Cindy will return. I'm not entirely sure when, but before this show is over you will see Cindy again - that's for certain."
Cindy was the main suspect in the exploding heads saga since the moment she showcased her powers. The first head explosion victim was CIA Deputy Director Susan Raynor (Jennifer Esposito), whose head was blown apart as she was speaking with The Boys. By the time Cindy and her powers were introduced, she seemed like a strong fit as the culprit, especially considering she had already escaped the Sage Grove Center by the time the Congressional hearing massacre took place. Yet in another unexpected twist, The Boys' season 2 finale reveals that it is none other than Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) who is responsible for the exploding heads. While Cindy might be innocent of this particular subset of crimes, it'll still be interesting to see what trouble she stirs up next.
While it's unclear when Cindy will be back in action, fans have plenty to look forward to in season 3. Between The Boys' ever-present war on Vought, Hughie's (Jack Quaid) new job, and Stormfront's (Aya Cash) potential return, it seems that Amazon Prime's smash hit will have more than enough content to keep viewers engaged. Although Cindy's immediate future on The Boys may be up in the air, it's almost guaranteed that Kripke and his team will make Cindy's triumphant return as shocking (and explosive) as possible.
