The Deep has done the unthinkable: During this week’s episode of The Boys , the supe, essentially, killed his octopus lover, Ambrosius ( voiced by Tilda Swinton ).
The Deep and the mollusk were carrying on a secret affair, but tensions between the two escalated when Chace Crawford’s character returned to his suite, smelling of his other hookup, Sister Sage.
“I love you so much . Your gentle heart, your fearless writing. Can you honestly say she feels the same?” Ambrosius asked, adding, “This is worth fighting for. We’re worth fighting for. There’s no way Sage cares about you the way I do.”
But that only ignited Deep’s anger instead of appealing to his heart. “She says that I’m a superior being!” he exclaimed, before (unfairly) noting that Sage “has four limbs.”
When Ambrosius suggested that Deep was being dumb and that Sage is only using him, the supe’s temper exploded. He broke the glass of her tank, the water spilling out. As Ambrosius pleaded that she can’t breathe, The Deep sat on the other side of the closed closet door and let Ambrosius die. “I love… you,” Ambrosius proclaimed in her final breaths.
“I was shocked,” Crawford tells TVLine about The Deep’s decision to let his love perish.
This season, The Deep has embraced a violent mentality that contributed to Ambrosius’ unexpected death. “I thought it was kind of cool, to be honest. His violence and his anger is spilling out into the real world and has real consequences for him,” Crawford shares. “He’s sort of breaking down and losing it that he actually did this thing.”
In typical Boys fashion, “hilarity ensues when she’s still alive and is kind of crying out. It’s so ridiculous, but it’s a real moment for him,” Crawford notes, “and I thought it was good to stretch the character that way.”
After a hearty laugh, Crawford replies, “I mean, The Deep letting Ambrosius die, because that’s his happiness. What he should do is just run off together [with Ambrosius] and go in the ocean. (That said, “Rest in peace, Timothy. [That] was pretty gross,” Crawford says.)
Showrunner Eric Kripke echoes the idea that The Deep destroyed his chance at true love: “Had he just gone into the ocean with her, he could’ve really been happy, but he just couldn’t do it,” Kripke says.
