"Peacemaker has always been about keeping the peace at all costs, but in Peacemaker Season 2, it seems like the area most in need of peace is inside Christopher Smith himself. Riddled with grief and guilt, he has found solace in an alternate version of his reality (even if he had to murder his alternate self to get it.)"
"While on the run, he meets up with Leota Adebayo and cautiously tells her about his secret new hideaway in the alternate universe and his alter ego, whom he had to conquer on the way. "You can't be thinking of going back in there," she says. "No matter how green the grass is over there, our biggest problems in life are the ones we carry within ourselves. Everything else evens out. This is where God put you; you belong here.""
"When Peacemaker responds that he feels cheated that this alternate version of him gets to live in the dimension of "goodness and light," while he's stuck in the "dark dimension," Adebayo has a simple response: "It don't feel right, Chris.""
Christopher Smith escapes grief and guilt by inhabiting an alternate reality after killing his alternate self. He remains a fugitive from A.R.G.U.S. while allies shift loyalties: John Economos stalls to help him flee and Emilia Harcourt is offered reinstatement to lure him out. Smith confides his hidden alternate life to Leota Adebayo, who warns that internal problems follow and that belonging to this world matters. Smith resents the alternate version’s apparent peace and light, while Adebayo insists that the alternate existence “don't feel right,” setting up emotional stakes and potential consequences.
