The episode follows the Boys spying on A-Train's girlfriend, Popclaw, to find a clue to his former motives the day he killed Robin, while being joined by Billy Butcher's former partner and friend Mother's Milk. This eventually leads to the discovery of the existence of a drug named Compound-V, which is frequently used by the Supes. Meanwhile, A-Train intends to use the Compound-V in order to win the race against another speedster, while keeping his relationship with Popclaw a secret from the public eye.
