Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6: DC Spinoff Series Drops Big Reveal About Alternate Universe; Plus Superman Actor Cameos
The 11th Street Kids, Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), Adrian Chase aka Vigilante (Freddie Stroma), Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee) all follow John Cena's Peacemaker and Eagly
into the alternate dimension where he hopes to make his home. However, the gang discovers that something very disturbing about this alternate Earth. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Rick Flag Sr (Frank Grillo) visits a special inmate at Belle Reve prison. Here's what went down in Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 titled Ignorance is Chris.
Who does Rick Flag Sr visit in jail?
After Peacemaker, Judomaster (Nhut Le), Harcourt, and Economos all disappear, the head of ARGUS, Rick Flag Sr., is desperate. He heads over to Belle Reve prison to visit Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), the villain of
Superman (2025) and co-lead of its follow-up, Man of Tomorrow (2027). Luthor tells Flag that he warned him about the metahumans but Flag is more concerned about Peacemaker and his quantum dimensional portal.
Luthor hates his current surroundings and was sentenced to 265 years at Belle Reve after the events of James Gunn's Superman. He is willing to help out Flag, but in turn, he wants freedom. The duo reaches a compromise. Flag will move Luthor to Van Kull prison, while Luthor will give Flag and his team technology to help track and pinpoint Peacemaker's portal.

Earlier this season, Maxwell Lord (Sean Gunn), Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion), and Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) have all had special appearances. David Corenswet's Superman had also stopped by the Peacemaker set. Is another big cameo being saved for the Peacemaker Season 2 finale? Fans have their fingers crossed.
The alternate dimension that Chris escapes to is...
The Earth-2, which Chris (John Cena) believes is the place where he can find redemption and the love from his estranged family, is actually Earth X. It's the dimension in which the Nazis won World War II and the US is under Nazi rule. Therefore, as Harcourt points out to Chris when they enter ARGUS headquarters, there are no people of colour in this world. Chris scoffs at the idea and goes to pick up an American flag from a desk. Instead of the 50 stars to represent the states, there is a swastika to represent Nazi rule.
That's not all; Vigilante is most excited to meet his other self in this dimension, and the two are on their way to becoming best friends. However, after Adrian reveals that Peacemaker is his best friend, the other Vigilante from Earth X is horrified. He hates Chris Smith and has joined the liberation group, the Sons of Liberty, to fight Nazis.
How does the Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 6 end?
The 11 Street Kids, including Peacemaker, are all in trouble at this point. Adrian is not besties with Peacemaker in this world; Economos has been found hiding in the other Peacemaker's house by his father, Auggie (Robert Patrick), and Harcourt has been found out as the impostor by the Earth X Harcourt, who orders her arrested.
The worst fate is left to poor Adebayo, who goes out on a walk in the neighbourhood after waiting for Chris to return. Multiple people on the street and driving by look horrified to see her. Finally, Chris's brother Keith (David Denman) stops his car and shouts that a Black has escaped. The whole neighbourhood of white people is chasing her as a terrified Adebayo runs away. Next week's penultimate episode will see if the gang can safely make it back to their world without incident.
