The latest season of "Peacemaker" kicks off with an ingenious recap, setting the stage with intrigue. Chris engages in a lively chat with some kids about his line of work, prompting them to inquire about his origins. This conversation acts as a catalyst, flooding his mind with a cascade of memories from the previous season—albeit with a clever twist. As the recap concludes, he catches a glimpse of the Justice League, now augmented by the presence of Superman, the Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl.
In the present day, Chris is rudely awakened in the dead of night by Eagly's incessant summons. Deterred by the bitter cold, he opts to venture into the pocket dimension instead. Peacemaker subsequently embarks on a search for the bird, eventually discovering it pecking at a door adorned with an array of helmets resembling his own.
On a whim, he tries his door code on this mysterious entrance, and to his astonishment, it opens. Stepping inside, he finds himself in an opulent trophy room adorned with countless prizes and photographs. One particular photo catches his eye: it features him alongside two others, forming a trio known as the Top Trio. Just when he thinks he's seen it all, the ultimate shock arrives—his father appears, questioning whether he's sleepwalking once more. Flustered, Chris bolts from the room, banishing the entire encounter from his mind.
The following day, Adebayo offers Chris a ride to an important destination. During the journey, she confides that her relationship with Keeya remains strained, expressing bewilderment at the cause. To her surprise, Peacemaker displays a rare moment of empathy, speculating that Keeya's anxiety stems from fears of mortality, a sentiment that his friend struggles to comprehend.
Their journey culminates at a dilapidated site where Maxwell Lord, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl are conducting interviews for potential new recruits to the Justice Gang. Peacemaker's excitement is palpable, but the mood swiftly sours.
Maxwell possesses a button intended to silence his microphone, preventing his controversial views from being broadcast. However, the device malfunctions, leaving Chris subjected to a steady stream of criticisms from Maxwell and the Justice Gang. At one point, they completely ignore him, diving into a tangent about popcorn. Frustrated beyond measure, Chris reveals the malfunctioning microphone and storms out before they can dish out any more insults.
Meanwhile, Emilia Harcourt finds herself in the throes of a disaster-prone interview. She aims to join a fresh organization to carry on with her usual endeavors, yet a medical professional halts her aspirations due to a dire diagnosis of toxic masculinity. Essentially, she is deemed overly volatile, incapable of heeding others' perspectives, and adept at stifling her emotions. She vehemently denies these accusations, shifting the blame onto Waller. However, her fury reaches a boiling point afterward, prompting her to punch her car relentlessly until her hand is bathed in blood.
Upon arriving home, Chris awaits her, offering tender assistance with her injured hand. They commiserate over their respective harrowing experiences in pursuit of new employment. Nevertheless, their heartfelt moment is shattered when Chris inquiries about their tumultuous encounter on a boat. Harcourt swiftly dismisses it as a regrettable mistake, insisting that it marks its conclusion. Tempers flair, leading Peacemaker to storm out of her residence.
To divert his attention, Chris indulges in marijuana and cocaine. By the time a wild party erupts within his home, he is already far gone, barely coherent. Yet, he is poised to make an even more dire decision, rising unsteadily to venture into his pocket dimension.
Outside his house, Economos sits in a van, engaged in conversation with Adrian, who is consumed by loneliness and desires to muse about owls. As his supervisor beckons him, Economos is finally liberated to resume his duties. And fortuitously, a signal flares up on his radar.
Employed by A.R.G.U.S., Bordeaux promptly contacts him for an update. She then patches Rick Flag through, instructing Economos to delve into the matter. It transpires that he catches a glimpse of Peacemaker just before the latter enters the pocket dimension. Regrettably, he merely snapshots the scene without disclosing it to A.R.G.U.S.
Flag remains skeptical of him, advising Bordeaux to prioritize surveillance on Peacemaker. Furthermore, they require a dependable new operative on-site.
Subsequently, Chris re-enters the portal and scrutinizes the house's contents with intensity. It is already overwhelming, but an even greater shock awaits him. As he exits the house, a car approaches. Inside is his brother, Keith, very much alive and in good health.
His eyes widen in disbelief, but the bizarre twist escalates when his father bursts in, beaming with joy at their unexpected trio reunion. Bewildered, he sits to converse with them, only to encounter an eerie, unfathomable bond within the family.
Elsewhere, Harcourt ignites a brawl in a biker bar, initially clashing with a solitary adversary but swiftly transforming the scene into a free-for-all. As one of them lands a solid hit, the crowd piles on, leaving her battered and bloodied. They expel her, her bruised form grinning up at the moon as she's tossed out.
Concurrently, Economus finds himself at a loss, seeking Adebayo's aid amidst his professional dilemma. Torn between preserving his A.R.G.U.S. career and betraying Peacemaker, he reluctantly turns to her for guidance. She agrees to intervene, promising to consult with Chris to unravel the mystery.
Meanwhile, Chris's father and brother retire for the night, their declarations of love ringing as another unsettling surprise in his turmoil. Retreating to his chamber, he encounters an even more startling reunion—with himself.
He attempts to elucidate the surreal occurrences, but his parallel existence remains deaf to his pleadings, leading to a violent confrontation. Chris flees, but his doppelgänger unleashes magical ninja stars, slicing open his back. Despite the injury, he manages to escape into a pocket dimension, only to find himself still hunted.
The battle rages on within this alternative realm, culminating in a dramatic standoff where Chris, facing imminent death, triggers his alternate's jet pack. Unfortunately, oblivious to the ceiling's concealed machinery, the jet's force tears through the other Peacemaker. Chris is left holding his dying doppelgänger, frozen in shock as life slips away in his arms.
