The idea that Stormfront is still alive has been speculated about by fans ofThe Boysfor a while now, and the TruthCon scene in season 4 is only the most recent piece of evidence. Firstly,The Boyshas done fake-out deaths before, with the series pretending that Queen Maeve was dead before bringing her back. Stormfront could also have had a fake-out death, leading toStormfront’s return inThe Boysseason 4.
