* When Cate and Sam free the prisoners from the Woods, Cate asks one of the prisoners when he last ever set foot outside. The prisoner in question asks her if Music/GangnamStyle is still a thing. This would suggest that he's been a prisoner of the Woods for at least a decade. And given how he looks to be in his late 20s / early 30s, he might very well have been a student at God U when he was sent here.

Since it's explicitly stated through dialogue, it's not really fridge


* Dialogue from Jordan after they rescue Marie implies that this isn't the first time Rufus has tried to rape a student with his psychic powers. Which is later confirmed by Cate.

It's speculation that her brother directly committed suicide rather than fridge horror. But it's also surface level that it's unlikely that he survived, so that's not really fridge horror either.


* Just the mere fact that "The Woods", an underground facility that violently experiments on Supes is far MORE secretive that Sage Grove and is MUCH harder to infiltrate than Sage Grove, is even a thing in the universe of ''The Boys''. [[NothingIsScarier What other super-kids are going through in the Woods is left to our imagination]].

* Cate’s powers manifested when she told her brother to “go away and never come back”. And he did, no one ever found him, not even a body. It’s as if she didn’t kill him, she made him disappear into thin air. And that’s when she was a child with the power first manifesting. This implies that Cate [[PsychicAssistedSuicide accidentally caused her brother to commit suicide]] [[NothingIsScarier in a place where literally nobody will find the body]].
** In other words, he really DID “go away and never came back”, and his death is implied to NOT be a pretty sight due to how bloody and gory The Boys Universe tends to be.

Reality warping is IMPOSSIBLE in The Boys Universe. It's NOT DC or Marvel or something like that.

* After learning Shetty's true intent and Cate is able to read minds, it makes sense that Shetty would give her pills to stop her from reading minds because she doesn't want Cate to find out about her schemes that involves putting all Supes in danger, since Cate is one of them.

* The revelation of Shetty's true intent also would explain why she blackmailed Tek Knight into dropping his investigation when he contemplated scapegoating her for Golden Boy's death. She wanted him gone before he could poke around too much and uncover her plans, which

* The first episode establishes that the windows in the dorms at Godolkin U don't open; Emma claims it was because students capable of flight would jump out of them recklessly. But during the second episode, while she's on the phone with Ashley, Shetty says that that she had "hardly any suicides" after the truth of Compound V came out; this raises the question of whether the windows were sealed before or ''after'' the suicides occurred.
