Peacemaker: Season 2 recap
After Superman, Chris Smith finds a door in his quantum storage room to an alternate Earth where his father Auggie and brother Keith are alive and celebrated as heroes. He fights his counterpart there, Peacemaker-2, who dies in his arms. A.R.G.U.S., now run by Rick Flag Sr., who wants revenge for his son's death, puts John Economos under watch and raids Chris's home, and Eagly fights off the agents. On the other Earth, Chris meets an alternate Harcourt who is dating an alternate Rick Flag Jr. Chris decides to stay there for good, but the 11th Street Kids follow him and learn that world is ruled by Nazis. Flag Sr. makes a deal with Lex Luthor to find the portal. Adrian Chase kills the alternate Auggie, and Keith is badly hurt.
Peacemaker: Season 2 ending explained
The team escapes back home, where A.R.G.U.S. is waiting, and Chris surrenders the portal. Harcourt and Sasha Bordeaux leave A.R.G.U.S., Chris and Harcourt get together, and the group starts an agency called Checkmate. Then Flag Sr. kidnaps Chris and traps him in Salvation, a barren dimension A.R.G.U.S. has chosen as a prison for metahumans. James Gunn has said there will be no third season, and Salvation leads into Man of Tomorrow (2027).
