00:00Welcome back everyone it is Amelia I hope you are fine.
00:09The Boys director Katrina McKenzie explains Ashley's Colby Minify decision to stay at
00:15Watt after the mole was revealed in season 4 episode 7.
00:18A key storyline throughout much of The Boys season 4 has been regarding a leak at Watt
00:23after it becomes clear that someone is working with Butcher Karl Urban and his team.
00:29Episode 7 sees Homelander Anthony Starr and his allies finally figure out that A-Train
00:34Jesse T. Usher is the mole causing A-Train to run for the hills but not before he pleads
00:39with Ashley to join him.
00:41In a recent interview with Screen Rant, McKenzie touches on why Ashley decides to stay at Watt
00:46in The Boys season 4 episode 7 despite her clear reservations about the company and the
00:52evil subs that control it.
00:53According to the director, Ashley is just in too deep with Watt and Homelander Ashley
00:58has been a core part of The Boys cast of characters since season 1 and she now serves
01:04as a puppet CEO of Watt.
01:05While she isn't a soup, she has overseen, orchestrated and been aware of most of the
01:10evil doings going on at the company and she has proven herself to be ruthless, self-interested
01:16and at times, despicable.
01:18Ashley herself may not be directly murdering people but her ambition has resulted in her
01:23turning a blind eye to some horrible deeds.
01:26In recent seasons, however, the actual amount of power that Ashley holds has been reduced,
01:31effectively, to zero and she is forced to tiptoe around at Watt as she attempts to avoid
01:36getting on Homelander's bad side.
01:39Frustrated with her own lack of agency at the company and in life, Ashley gets some
01:43petty revenge against Homelander by using his private bathroom and not flushing.
01:49Season 4 certainly puts some cracks in Ashley's resolve and it's clear that being said, it's
01:54certainly possible that Ashley will be pushed over the edge in The Boys season 5 which is
01:59confirmed to be the show's last.
02:01If Homelander continues mistreating her, Ashley could end up making a last-minute decision
02:05to help take him down especially if it furthers her own self-interest.
02:09Ashley getting a happily ever after ending in The Boys, however, is looking doubtful
02:14considering the bad choices she's made thus far.
