History Recap / TheBoysDiabolicalS1E04BoydIn3D

* ExactWords: Boyd is asked by the scientists to "picture the life you want to have" -- and the short is exactly that: his DyingDream of a perfect life, including the ups and downs of a relationship with Cherry.

* IronicName: Boyd Doone. As in - "done". The first time you see it, it's when he's posing for a mugshot after a drunk brawl.
* {{Jerkass}}: {{Implied}} with Cherry's ex-boyfriend. He doesn't appear on screen, rather, he is inside a car which he abruptly stops, kicks Cherry out, yells something at her, and then hurls her purse at her.

* OperationJealousy: {{Implied}}. After Boyd has a one-night stand with a woman he met in a club, the next thing Cherry does is publicly kiss some random guy. When Boyd finds out, he's however pissed, rather than simply jealous.

** RichesToRags: When both of them become more and more depraved and violent in public, Vought decides to cut their losses and ends Boyd's and Cherry's sponsorships. A mix of the aforementioned outbursts and fans slowly catching on to the more [[BestialityIsDepraved disturbing implications]] of their relationship also costs them their fan base.
