When we last left Peacemaker and his crew, they found themselves in a precarious situation. Chris had left his homeworld for an alternate dimension, but his friends weren’t going to let him go without a fight. What they thought would be a straightforward rescue quickly spiraled out of control, particularly for Adebayo. With the release of Episode 7, we gained critical insights into this dimension. If you’re wondering about the episode’s conclusion, we’ll break down the ending of Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7 in detail.
What Happened at the End of Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 7?
By the end of Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, Peacemaker’s father had interrogated John and realized that the Chris he had been dealing with was from an alternate dimension. It didn’t take long for him to discover that the alternate version of Chris had been killed, leading to an emotional fallout with Keith, who did not handle the news well. Auggie and Keith then orchestrated a rescue for Peacemaker and Emilia, bringing them back to the house where Chris had to explain the bizarre circumstances.
While Auggie seemed to grasp the situation, Keith was blinded by rage, wanting to eliminate Chris and his friends. An intense confrontation ensued when Emilia confronted Auggie about his beliefs, which he denied, but his remarks only solidified Emilia’s accusations. In a swift turn of events, the alternate Vigilante ambushed Auggie, ending his life with a lethal stab to the neck. This violent encounter fired up Keith, leading him to retaliate and put everyone in jeopardy as the police arrived.
Is Keith Dead in Peacemaker Season 2?
As the chaos unfolded, Keith was gravely injured, escalating Peacemaker’s guilt over the deaths surrounding him. Emilia urged Peacemaker to escape through the portal. Just as she prepared to use the alternate Vigilante’s gun on Keith, the police intervened. In a split-second decision, he pushed Emilia through the portal while he remained behind.
While we did not see Keith perish in this episode, it’s likely we’ve seen the last of him, especially considering James Gunn’s hints about the unlikelihood of a Peacemaker Season 3 in his recent podcast.
By the episode’s conclusion, Peacemaker found himself surrounded by Flag and Argus agents. Just before the arrest, he took responsibility for the chaos, choosing to surrender alone after Judomaster confirmed his account.
Why Did Peacemaker Get Himself Arrested?
In witnessing the aftermath of Auggie and Keith’s deaths, Peacemaker shifted blame onto himself for the destruction in their lives. His reasoning was to distance himself from those he cared about. In the teaser for Episode 8, despite his friends wanting to see him in prison, Chris refused, calling himself “The Angel of Death.”
This hints that Peacemaker’s spirit is profoundly fractured. The finale, airing on October 9, holds the key to whether his character can find redemption.
As we inch closer to the conclusion of a gripping season, if you’re curious about Peacemaker’s journey and the lingering questions about the show, you’re not alone. Stay tuned for more insights and discussions about the series over at Moyens I/O.
