Making Totally-not-AOC Lady an evil supe, who used to do the bidding of the big Evil Corp, and then double crossed the CEO to work with Homelander, and now Homelander got the presidential candidate who chose her as VP murdered, so it's very likely she'll be president in the next season, and one of the big bads to beat, like Soldier Boy in S3.
The takeaway from all this is that the only reason why the governmental agency meant to stop supes from doing evil shit failed, was because the wrong person was leading it. Nevermind the fact that Vought was, is, and will be in league with the US Government's atrocities, and that their sheer economic, cultural and (literal) super-manpower makes any government subservient to its interests.
It's all super-powered, Liberal Great Man Theory. At least that plot thread is libby af, not to mention trodden a thousand times already.
