Episode 7 of Peacemaker turns the focus back to the past, as we see Chris and his brother Keith in their room, listening to rock music. With Auggie holding bets, they’re encourages to head out and fight one another in a no-holds barred match. With a big punch to the cheek, Chris knocks out his brother who ends up convulsing and fitting on the floor.
Frothing at the mouth, Auggie jumps in and realizes Chris has killed his brother. This seems to be the origin of his father’s disdain and as Peacemaker reflects on this painful moment from his past, he struggles to hold back tears.
Vigilante snaps him out of his entranced state though, as the pair collect their gear and prepare to go after Locke. Economos is with them too and drives them to their destination. Only, they’re not alone. White Dragon and his fanatics are on their trail. White Dragon smashes into the side of the truck and knocks them down.
If you’ve been following these recaps over the weeks, you’ll know I wasn’t sold on the show to begin with. Episodes 2 and 4 in particular felt like big steps back for the show, throwing in repetitive jokes and doing very little to actually advance the story. At the other end of the spectrum is this absolute gem of an episode.
It may be the shortest of them all but we finally get to understand what happened to Chris and his brother in the past. Not only that, we gain a lot more context over the White Dragon subplot which is eventually ended. Leota also has some nice character development too, understanding that Peacemaker really is a nice guy and actually seeing Eagley hug for herself.
If that wasn’t enough, the episode has just the right amount of action and drama thrown in too, along with everything building beautifully toward the final conflict. That finale looks set to be quite the dramatic affair too, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Will Peacemaker and the gang manage to save the day? We’ll have to wait and see!
