Butcher should cut his loss and move on because it's a no win situation for him.
She made that decision for him with E4. I think that puts his desire for vengeance into overdrive.
The first scene with Madelyn had me confused. I couldn't figure out if he was dreaming it or he had somehow faked skullfricking her with his laser eyes. I had forgotten all about Doppelganger, which made the scene even freakier! That look of unease on Homelander's face and he wouldn't look back until he had morphed again...
It's annoying how racism is the big cliche bad guy these days. I hope their eventual goal with Stormfront is to make her more than just an appeasement for the BLM types who can't get enough of it from the NFL.

In the comics Stormfront is quite literally a Nazi, like, 1940s Nazi. I like the Liberty angle they have added

It does seem to get the most bang for the buck these days.

You do realize they are following the comics with her, and they were written starting in 2006 right? That character's racism has zero to do with BLM.

So, this is a silly criticism given the comics predate BLM by about 7-8 years. As others who have read have said, they’ve deviated some but are still following some major comic components and apparently Stormfront is one of those.
The show even last season has tapped into some edgier subjects. Rape, the real consequence of fame, LGBTQ relationships, genetic modification, religion (particularly the hypocrisy in it at times), etc. That’s pretty par for what the show has done from day one and I don’t know why anyone would be shocked they’d touch on racism.

She's not a one dimensional "racist bad guy" though. The racism is a layer of her character that does multiple things:
- Shows how callous she is, which makes her dangerous. When she killed the black kid as Liberty she did it because his life mattered too little to take the time to get the full story and find out he was innocent.
- Because of the current social climate it is a secret she needs to keep that Starlight now knows, which will undoubtedly lead to a conflict between them at some point.
This doesn't look like shallow SJW pandering at all, she's a well developed character that is legitimately threatening Homelander for control of the 7. And while she backed down pretty quickly when Homelander got the red eyes, she's pretty powerful and you do wonder if she'd have a punchers chance against him.
