CHANGES: after the events of season 2, billy and his vigilante superhero hating group are actually working for the government and trying to do things by the book by apprehending problematic superheroes that are breaking the law. whereas billy would previously use violence to solve a problem, he's been giving diplomacy a go. it doesn't work and it doesn't last long.
billy's obsession with trying to kill homelander gets the better of him and he takes two steps to finally take him out once and for all: 1) he begins investigating the apparent death of soldier boy, the original big time superhero and 2) he starts taking temp v, a drug that gives him superheroes for a small amount of time.
because of this hyper focus on killing homelander, billy dips further and further into being a self loathing prick. he alienates ryan butcher, the son of his wife and pisses off most of his team because he refuses to hear reason. they find out about him taking temp v as well which just makes him a hypocrite of the first order because of how much he hates superheroes.
in order to get soldier boy's help with killing homelander, he agrees to help him find the former members of soldier's boy team to kill them and he follows through with that, going against anything and everything his friends suggest because of his single minded focus on this.
before he'd be whisked back to the station, he'd find out that the temp v that he's taking has devastating side effects in that they will start to slowly kill him. this isn't something he would be making well known once he returned. he will also still be on the temp v compound, which will give him laser eyes, super strength, and enhanced durability for a short time before it wears off and he's back to his normal human sharped person.
