Peacemaker Recap: Fly Like an Eagle
Briefly

Peacemaker season two returns the action to Earth after a universe-spanning premiere, focusing on character dynamics and setting up the season's conflicts. The episode primarily serves as a table-setting chapter that reinforces relationships and roles among the cast. Tim Meadows debuts as Langston Fleury, an A.R.G.U.S. agent whose playful needling and bird blindness add comic energy and impact an action sequence. Chris Smith confronts the aftermath of killing an alternate-universe Peacemaker and enlists Adrian Chase/Vigilante to dismember the corpse to conceal the death. The cover-up yields unforeseen consequences, including A.R.G.U.S. monitoring of Chris's quantum chamber.
As Langston Fleury - an A.R.G.U.S. agent sent, theoretically, to assist Economos as he monitors Chris Smith's house - Meadows spends most of the episode gleefully needling his colleague instead: debating the plural of "Pokémon," applying the unwelcome (but extremely sticky) nickname "Ginger Cool," and revealing what he says is his sole weakness: bird blindness, a rare condition that makes him unable to distinguish, say, between a hummingbird or a vulture.
Having killed the Peacemaker from the alternate universe he discovered in his dad's quantum unfolding chamber, Chris calls in help from the one person he knows, for a fact, can bring him a bone saw: Adrian Chase, a.k.a. Vigilante. What follows is a little like a black-comedy riff on a scene from Breaking Bad or as the duo chop up the corpse of the Peacemaker doppelganger to cover up the accidental killing.
