The Doppelgänger scene in Season 2, Episode 4, is one of the scenes where Starr shows the range of acting. He urges the shapeshifter to transform into Stillwell, showing the inner turmoil of Homelander and revealing an untold side that is incredibly disturbing yet tragically human. Later, when the Doppelgänger tries to get intimate with Homelander, Homelander realizes he doesn't "need anyone" to love him and snaps their neck. Starr's portrayal of twisted emotional manipulation adds layers to the character here—the longing of Homelander, his obsession with control, and his emotional fragility all come to the fore in this moment.
