Who Dies in Gen V Season 2 Episode 8?
Only two main characters die in the finale. The first of these is Doug, a human who has been Thomas Godolkin’s puppet for decades. Doug, also known as Doctor Gould, was involved in the creation of Marie through the Odessa Project. Polarity tries to save Doug by taking him to a medical ally. However, Black Noir II ambushes them and kills Doug by stabbing him in the heart.
The second loss is Thomas Godolkin. Marie uses her powers to destroy Godolkin after Polarity subdues him. Godolkin had previously injected himself with V-1, an anti-aging Compound V, allowing him to survive the laboratory accident in 1967 and control others. His plan was to capture Marie, kill Homelander, and take over Vought and the United States.
