At the start of the Season 3 premiere of The Boys, Hughie (Jack Quaid) still has no idea that his boss, congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), is the head-exploding Supe that killed various attendees at Vought's hearing in Season 2.
However, he's well aware of this by the end of the third season's premiere.
Throughout the episode, a man named Tony (Kyle Mac) claims Victoria is his best friend named Nadia. After leaving work one night, Hughie spots Tony and Victoria entering an alleyway. He follows them and overhears Tony urging her to tell the truth about "Red River;" once she refuses, the two duke it out before Victoria brutally kills Tony. As usual, Hughie ends up covered in blood!

So, what is "Red River"? Well, Episode 2 follows Hughie and Starlight (Erin Moriarty) as they discover that Red River is an underfunded and neglected Supe orphanage owned by a subsidiary of Vought.
As a child, Victoria (aka Nadia) couldn't control her powers; as a result, she killed her family and ended up at Red River. While there, she learned to control her powers and eventually met the corrupt Vought CEO, Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito), who adopted her and branded her as Victoria Neuman.

OK, we are definitely shook to the core; regardless, this information confirms our thoughts that Stan and Victoria have been working together the entire time. But, what does this mean for the rest of the season? Well, we'll just have to wait and see!
