Gen V Season 2 Episode 7 Ending Explained: Unveiling Cipher’s True Identity
Throughout Season 2, the true identity of Hamish Linklater’s Cipher and his connection to the mysterious burned man (revealed to be Thomas Godolkin) remained shrouded in mystery. Episode 7 finally puts all speculation to rest.
Before the episode’s climax, it is revealed that Cipher was actually an ordinary man named Doug, who had been under someone else’s control all along. Meanwhile, Jaz Sinclair’s Marie Moreau finds the burned man, Thomas Godolkin, and fully heals him. This is when the real twist hits the viewers: Godolkin was the one controlling Cipher/Doug the whole time. In fact, he wanted Marie to track him down and manipulate her to use her unique powers for his recovery.
With his plan complete, Godolkin begins his mission to eliminate all supes whom he thinks have useless powers. Fans now understand why Cipher cared for the burned man so much and why Marie once realized Cipher had no powers. Because he never did, he was merely a puppet.
After this shocking revelation, fans are waiting with bated breath for the season finale. How will Marie and her friends stop Godolkin from wreaking havoc on campus supes? And interestingly, how will the Gen V Season 2 finale connect to The Boys Season 5?
