Guess who’s back? No, not Eminem. Ashley is back in The Boys season five, and she’s got a shiny new job title. At the end of season four, Ashley injected herself with Compound V after The Deep suggested to Homelander that they should kill her because of her knowledge of the Seven and Vought’s many crimes. Of course, that went terribly wrong as her body started to morph.
Sage mentioned in Gen V’s second season that Ashley was not fit to be the CEO of Vought, so she stepped in. Well, it seems that Ashley found the right chemicals to regulate herself because she’s the Vice President of the United States in The Boys season five.
We see her step in for a press conference as she calls the very real Flight 37 video a “deepfake AI” slander attempt from Starlight. Ashley is also married to Oh-Father, a religious supe, to make herself look better in the public’s eyes. We know that Ashley isn’t 100% devoted to Homelander. She did have that terse alliance with A-Train for a bit after catching him in Homelander’s V stash, and she took some herself. And, before that, she allowed Maeve to leave and find her own quiet life.
How Ashley was able to mend fences and gain a new position of power remains to be seen. But episode 2 does reveal that Ashley has a psychic tumor and a whole other face on the back on her head. It fuels her internal dialogue and she’s able to read some people’s minds, with the exception of Sage and presumably Homelander. It is not clear if she can be an asset or detriment to the Boys collective. She’s pretty upset at A-Train’s funeral and doesn’t like the path that Homelander and Sage are going on. Ashley also knows that Sage has some ulterior motives. Honestly, Ashley has been such a terrible person that she deserves to die just as much as Homelander. Let’s see if she makes it to the end of The Boys.
