Synopsis for "Cherry"
At the Seven H.Q., Homelander welcomed Starlight into the Seven and they revealed their real names to each other before the leader allowed her to have a seat at their table and giving her a "final test" which involved "sucking it", much to her shock. Hughie found a cheap hotel in the South Bronx before Butcher stopped by in a taxi and ordered him to get inside before giving him a U.S. passport.
As Starlight was shocked by Homelander's demand to "suck it", A-Train and Black Noir appeared at the door and also took off their pants. Homelander told Starlight that in order to join The Seven, she had to have sex with all of them. Butcher introduced Hughie to Mother's Milk, the Frenchman, and the Female before introducing them to their newest member. When Hughie was about to shake the Female's hand, Butcher and M.M. advised him not to before M.M. complained about their meeting place and the Frenchman insisted on getting pizza, much to the Englishman's annoyance.
Back at the Seven H.Q., Starlight threw up in the toilet before meeting Queen Maeve and expressed her excitement before the latter supe brushed her off. Butcher told his team that they would be firing a "warning shot" at Teenage Kix to let the supes know that they were back. Then, Butcher instructed his teammates to remember the seven P's: Proper Preparation and Planning Prevent Piss-Poor Performance and declared that Teenage Kix was "in for a shock."
