Kimiko and Frenchie Seemingly End on a Good Note
The Boys don't see any reason they would remain safe in each other's company and decide to go their separate ways before Homelander gets to them.
But right before the US government declared martial law and handed over the reins to Homelander, Kimiko and Frenchie shared a moment together.
While Kimiko was reasoning with Frenchie that they should trust Victoria Neuman on their side, Frenchie doesn't see her as an ally. Meanwhile, Kimiko took the opportunity to confess something she always wanted to say to him.
Previously, Kimiko insisted that Frenchie should be together with someone "better than her", but the season 4 finale pushes her to tell the truth: she wants to be with Frenchie.
They kiss and are about to hop on the ship to escape until Homelander's cronies reach them. Specifically, Frenchie. Before he could help Kimiko from Gen V's Sam, the other Gen V Supe, Kate, manipulated Frenchie into following her orders.
Then and there, as Kimiko was detained, watching Frenchie get taken away, she found her voice.
