The following story contains spoilers for Gen V Episode 4, "The Whole Truth."

WELL, SOMEHOW THEY did it. After Gen V opened things up with a perspective-shifting giant/small penis sex scene in its debut episode—putting Emma's (Lizze Broadway) Ant-Man-esque powers on great display—you'd think this show would be just about tapped out as far as on-screen penis antics go. You would think that. But oh how incredibly wrong you would be, as the fourth episode of The Boys spinoff, titled "The Whole Truth," upped the ante on perverse penis problems in an entirely unexpected (and somewhat mind-searing) way.

Let's quickly set the stage: our hero, Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) is looking for both her roommate, Emma (who was sent by Andre to go rescue Luke's brother, Sam, from the captivity/institution/hospital "The Woods"), and also her sister, who she hasn't seen since a devastating superpower-involved incident that killed their parents as children. And so she goes to Rufus (Alexander Calvert), a real weirdo who nonetheless has all sorts of psychic and clairvoyant powers.

Rufus is a creep right off the bat, making weird "jokes," eying Marie up and down, and insinuating that she could trade sexual favors in exchange for the help of his powers (a "joke," he again claims). He only briefly starts to help Marie before insisting she needs to get closer to him because he needs a "stronger connection," presumably to both her and the people she's searching for. Then Marie blacks out.

We black in as soon as Marie does, and things have gotten even weirder; Jordan is banging on the door, "True" by Spandau Ballet is playing, Rufus is wearing a wide open kimono (penis fully hanging out) shouting "I'm busy!" and a groggy Marie is only just waking up to all of this.

Rufus claims that it's not what it looks like, but in an act that's seemingly instinctive for Marie (she tells Jordan later that she has "no idea" how she did it), he Blood Magneto powers go inside Rufus' body—into his dick, to be exact. The blood flows to his dick, and it flows, and flows, and flows, and flows, expanding until Jordan—using their own super strength—busts down the door, making Marie jump, and making Rufus' penis literally explode.

That's right folks. An exploding penis. Blood, penis bits, everywhere. A fully obliterated penis for someone who appeared to be a super-powered sexual predator (Jordan called him "walking Rufenal" as they walked away and Rufus cried in pain, perhaps making his name feel a bit on-the-nose). You've heard the term "body horror" before, typically reserved for the films of someone like David Cronenberg, where a person gruesomely turns into a fly-like creature over the course of the film, or melts into a pile of flesh, or anything like that. But maybe we need to start talking about "penis horror" with the shows of The Boys universe, because it's so consistently doing strange, bizarre, and compelling things with the male anatomy. (The most notable other bit of "penis horror" coming to mind right now is when Quentin Tarantino, playing a rapist in Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror, has his penis melt off. It's gross and weird and great!)

This is a new feat for The Boys universe, which we already established showed us a mini giant penis in the Gen V premiere, and in the past has had a scene where another superhero explodes an entire body from the inside of a penis. But somehow the more intimate nature of this one just felt that much more vivid. It just popped!

There's one thing about this scene—and this episode—that we should take note of, though. Keep in mind that Marie had a similar brain-wipe when she ended up in Rufus' room earlier in the episode.

After Marie, Andre, a jumbo-sized Emma, and the rest of the God U kids were trying to get Sam under control at Dr. Cardosa's house, Marie, then, was in the middle of a sentence telling Sam they would protect him—only for her to be cut off mid-sentence, specifically during the word "protect."

She woke up an undisclosed time later, in bed with Jordan (the two hooked up earlier in the episode). Since Rufus has already been established as a creep—and someone now with a particular grudge against Marie and her friends—is his power being used by Vought and Godolkin University to wipe everyone's mind following the whole Sam incident? Or is this a Marie thing? We'll have to keep watching Gen V to find out.
