- Key Update: The Deep faces total social and aquatic exile following the disbanding of The Seven and a death threat from sea creatures.
- Status: Confirmed
- Last Verified: May 15, 2026
- Quick Answer: The Deep survives Episode 7 but faces a humiliating fate without powers or allies, though his death in the series finale remains a distinct possibility.
There’s only one episode left before The Boys Season 5 comes to an end, but it may not deliver what viewers are expecting, as it could keep one of the Supes alive–and it’s not Homelander.
The series may change the game entirely after Episode 7, where another major character bid farewell.
As several character arcs begin to wrap up, who is this character that may avoid death and ultimately change everything?
Which Supes May Survive in The Boys?
Warning: Major spoilers ahead. Read with caution.
Since The Boys began in 2019, there has been one character fans have been waiting to see meet his demise aside from Homelander: The Deep. He not only sexually assaulted Annie back in the first season, but also killed Black Noir II.
However, after Season 5, Episode 7, it seems that outcome is now far less likely, although his karma is still on the way.
The Deep is left without a job after Homelander disbands The Seven, meaning he is no longer part of any Vought-related operations.
A hammerhead shark also tells him that he is not welcome in the water, as sea creatures now blame him for the pipeline incident.
With that warning, The Deep wouldn’t even be able to save a drowning man–even if the cameras were rolling.
This just made him appear cowardly in front of many, which would surely give him a hard time redeeming himself in the public.
He has also lost his connection to the water and its creatures, the only thing that sets him apart from other Supes.
Sure, he may not die, but the humiliation and suffering he endures may be punishment enough for his sins, giving him a fitting ending rather than death.
Is There a Chance for The Deep to Die in The Boys Series Finale?
But while The Deep has yet to kick the bucket, there’s still a chance he could die, as The Boys Season 5 still has one episode left before the series officially concludes.
It’s worth noting that Xander the Shark appears to warn him that his life will be forfeit if he ever goes near the water again. As the sea creatures are desperate to take revenge against him, it seems Xander may want to kill him on the spot.
Knowing that The Deep is not wise enough to avoid danger, the sea creatures may eventually find a way to get to him and end his life. As major Supes continue to fall, he may not be safe yet.
Either way, the consequences of his actions and his support for Homelander are already severe. Still, nothing would be more satisfying for some viewers than seeing him meet a brutal end on screen.
The Boys Season 5, Episode 8, titled “Blood and Bone,” will be released on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, on Prime Video.
