1. “Evil Thoughts” by Foxy Shazam
The episode kicks off with Peacemaker and Vigilante engaged in a gory clean-up operation involving an alternate version of Chris. The unsettling mix of horror and slapstick comedy feels even more deranged thanks to Foxy Shazam’s “Evil Thoughts.” Its funky chaos perfectly aligns with the absurdity of the scene where they joke while dealing with a multiverse double.
2. “Reapercussion” by The Cruel Intentions
When A.R.G.U.S. deploys a makeshift strike team, The Cruel Intentions’ “Reapercussion” sets the perfect tone. Its aggressive sound captures the reckless nature of the operation, suggesting that this squad might not stand a chance against the imminent chaos.
3. “Dirty Money” by Ida Maria
Think Eagly was going to take a backseat? Think again! As A.R.G.U.S.’ strike team invades Chris’s space, Eagly makes a spectacular entrance, assaulting them with vigor. Ida Maria’s “Dirty Money” accompanies him in a slow-motion strut, epitomizing the coolness of Peacemaker.
This track continues into a rooftop scene where the 11th Street Kids bond over drinks, showcasing the familial ties that define this quirky team.
4. “This Time It’s Love” by D’Molls
Amidst the chaos, Gunn introduces a genuinely touching moment between Chris and Harcourt on the rooftop, as they share stories of their scars and vulnerabilities. D’Molls’ “This Time It’s Love” plays in the background—a glam-metal ballad that encapsulates their shared sadness while linking back to the show’s punk rock ethos.
5. “We Don’t Need a Cure” by Hardcore Superstar
The episode wraps up on a poignant note as Chris, feeling a mix of loneliness and intoxication, reaches for his phone to text the alternate Harcourt in a universe where things are better. Hardcore Superstar’s “We Don’t Need a Cure” enhances this bittersweet moment, reminding us that Peacemaker’s fiercest battles are often within himself.
