"These three words from Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 3 sum up Chris Smith's attitude when exploring an alternate universe where seemingly nothing is wrong. He's in a superheroic trio with his still very alive dad and brother, he's got a dope motorcycle, and he's completely free of all the baggage established in The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker Season 1."
"HBO Max Much of Peacemaker Season 2's conflict revolves around Rick Flag Sr. becoming the director of A.R.G.U.S. He has a singular mission - find out who murdered his son, Rick Flag Jr. (Joel Kinnaman) - and the newfound power to complete it. We, as viewers, know Peacemaker murdered Flag as a damage control measure during the events of The Suicide Squad, but to Rick Sr., it was a cold-blooded act that must be avenged."
Chris Smith inhabits an alternate universe where he appears liberated: part of a superhero trio with his alive father and brother, and riding a prized motorcycle. He nevertheless carries the emotional wounds of his original dimension and the fresh trauma of murdering and dismembering his alternate self. Rick Flag Sr. becomes A.R.G.U.S. director with a singular mission to discover who killed Rick Flag Jr. and the authority to pursue vengeance. Chris impersonates his counterpart in that dimension, infiltrates A.R.G.U.S., and is unsettled by encountering an unexpectedly mundane Rick Flag Jr., intensifying guilt, rivalry, and moral conflict.
