Hughie’s father now has the power to read and comprehend all of the James Patterson books!

But what if he finishes them all?

With great power comes great responsibility.

Now he can get his dream job ghost writing for James Patterson while watching Remington Steele in the background.

Did Hughies mum give the dad compound V?

If so does that mean she new what it is?

And if that is so. Could she be connected to Vought somehow?

My opinion : yes she gave his dad the V, so yes she probably knew what it was, but the question is how ? And btw, she indeed works for Vought, it was said in the beginning, but I think she does cosmetic for a branch unrelated to supes

No, she's an MLM essential oils pusher

her son is affiliated with supe and the blue V is not a secret thing anymore. lots of people know about it already. and for her son to suddenly has the thing that look like blue V, she probably can guess it already.

Hughie seemed shocked, so I do think he decided against it, but his mom got a hold of it somehow and knew what to do with it. She was some kind of Vought rep at one point. Perhaps she had experience administering it, even though it seems like a regular transfusion.

Compound V was revealed to the public at the end of season 1, it's not surprising if someone could guess what it was based on visuals.

Not even a supe could read all of Patterson. Even Patterson hasn't read all of Patterson.
