Greg Alba, Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey dive into Gen V Season 2 Episode 5 (“The Kids Are Not Alright”)—where trust is shattered, memories are weaponized, and one of the biggest betrayals of the season explodes into view. The Boys spin-off continues to push darker, more personal stakes as we see the fallout from the memory wipe revealed in Episode 4. In this episode, Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair — Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) reunites with Jordan Li (London Thor / Derek Luh) and Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway) only to find something in her own body—a hidden tracking device—that fuels her growing paranoia and distrust. Meanwhile, Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips — Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) is revealed as the one behind the memory erasures, acting under the instructions of Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater — The Gentlemen, A Discovery of Witches) in a twist that leaves her closest friends reeling. Andre (who passed away in offscreen circumstances this season) remains a presence, as his memory and betrayal continue to haunt the group’s dynamics. Highly talked-about and meme-worthy moments in this episode include the shocking revelation that Cate was wiping memories herself (not Rufus, as everyone suspected), the dramatic mic drop confrontation with Andre about trust (“You’re a f---ing monster…”), and the visceral puppet fight sequence where hallucinations and real danger collide in Alexander’s surreal horror imagery. Episode 5 raises the question: when does protection become control? Follow Coy Jandreau:  Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coyjandreau?l...
