Whose Address Did Neuman Give Homelander In The Boys Season 3?

WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 3, episode 7

Victoria Neuman drags Homelander away from his milky fantasies long enough to hand over an address in The Boys - here's where the location might lead. Previously in The Boys season 3, Victoria Neuman betrayed her own adopted father and Vought CEO, Stan Edgar, in favor of Homelander. Not only did the Seven's maniacal leader deliver a vial of Compound-V for Neuman's daughter as a reward, but the congresswoman believed siding with Homelander was better for her health than antagonizing him.

That theory is sorely tested in "Here Comes A Candle To Light You To Bed." Mentally unraveling after his Soldier Boy beat-down, Homelander almost freaks out completely during a Robert Singer political rally. After calming himself down with a sweet pair of udders, Homelander is approached by his latest reluctant ally, Victoria Neuman. Despite getting a patriotic hand around her throat, Neuman proposes a second deal and produces a slip of paper that immediately grabs Homelander's attention. The Boys season 3, episode 7 later reveals this note contains an address: "715 County, Highway 2, Alrich, MN, 56434."

The address is intriguing enough to make Homelander pay attention, so must lead to something or someone he desperately wants. We know Homelander would love to destroy Butcher, but the Boys' leader is based in New York, not Minnesota. As his daydream during the rally so clearly highlights, Homelander also wants a second bite at Soldier Boy, but since they establish a line of communication in the episode's final scene, the address can't be connected to Jensen Ackles' character either. Queen Maeve is safely locked away, so there's no point hounding Elena, and Homelander surely knows where Stan Edgar can be found. By process of elimination, therefore, The Boys season 3's address must lead to Ryan Butcher.

Homelander visited Billy Butcher's apartment back in The Boys season 3's premiere, demanding to know Ryan's location. He's been searching for the youngster ever since The Boys season 2's finale, but without success. Alrich, Minnesota makes sense as somewhere nice and remote Grace Mallory might've taken Ryan, and even though Mallory moved to a new safe house solely because of Neuman, her political and FBSA connections could've feasibly unearthed their latest hideout - especially with all the government agents guarding outside. There's not much Victoria Neuman could've said to placate Homelander in The Boys season 3, episode 7... but the location of his son is certainly one of them.

With only a single episode left, Ryan Butcher's return in The Boys' upcoming season finale was inevitable. The child's last appearance not only teased parental tension between Ryan and Billy Butcher, but subtly teased Homelander's son was growing in strength as he angrily grasped Butcher's wrist. Those plot threads both need paying off before season 3 is over, potentially with Butcher and Homelander fighting for custody of Ryan. The Boys also weaves a familial thread, as season 3 has just revealed the identity of Ryan's biological grandfather. Maybe the arrival of a surprise new family member helps Ryan regain the sense of identity he lost after Becca's death.

Neuman's address doesn't necessarily lead to Ryan, of course. Billy Butcher doesn't love anyone enough for Homelander to exploit... but Hughie does. Simon Pegg's Hugh Campbell sr. made a brief cameo earlier in The Boys season 3 via a video call to his son, but Pegg hasn't physically appeared since Hughie became a wanted criminal. Maybe he moved to Minnesota and Homelander now plans on killing Hughie's dad in revenge for the Herogasm attack. Whether Neuman's note leads to Ryan Butcher, Simon Pegg, or someone else entirely, The Boys promises Homelander will hit an udderly new level of depravity in season 3's finale. All that remains to be seen now is what Neuman requested in return...
