"You Found Me" is the eighth episode and season finale of the first season of the American superhero television series The Boys, based on the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis. It is set in a universe where superpowered individuals, known as Supes, are portrayed as corrupt individuals instead of the heroes the general public believes they are. The episode was written by Anne Cofell Saunders and Rebecca Sonnenshine, and directed by the series showrunner Eric Kripke.
The episode follows the Boys going into hiding as wanted fugitives due to their actions against Vought. Their leader, Billy Butcher decides to finally confront Homelander causing protagonist Hughie Campbell to question his actions. Meanwhile, Annie January grapples with the fallout of her relationship with Hughie after learning he manipulated her to get revenge on A-Train, while also struggling with the revelation that she wasn't born with powers, leading her to question her life as a superhero.
"You Found Me" was released on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video on July 26, 2019. The episode received critical acclaim for the action sequences, visual effects, direction, screenplay, story, the performances of Karl Urban and Antony Starr, twist ending, and the set-up for the second season.
