The previous episode of Peacemaker season 2 showed Christopher Smith (Peacemaker) trying his best to get over killing the alternate version of himself. It seemed like he hoped that meeting up with his friends would do the trick. Sadly, it just gets worse after Chris tries to talk to Emilia Harcourt about his feelings for her. She dismisses him, not because she doesn’t care. She’s going through something herself and isn’t handling it well.
After a night of drinking with his friends, Chris goes home so drunk that he doesn’t notice his house is a mess. If he did, he would have realized that someone was there and trashed it (or, maybe he didn’t notice because it was still messy from his naked people sex party).
Instead of going to sleep, Chris opens his counterpart’s phone, sees happy pictures of Emilia Harcourt. Since he has no impulse control, Peacemaker ventures into the other universe to see if the grass is greener over there. The first thing he does is text Emilia, who responds with a broken heart emoji. What that means remains to be seen, but we should learn what's up in episode 3.

What to expect in episode 3 of Peacemaker season 2
The upcoming episode of Peacemaker season 2 will likely get into two major things. First, and most importantly, how Christopher Smith from DCU-Prime handles his new life. Everything is the way he hoped it would be, but he doesn’t know how things are there. We can guess he will mess things up, but they will also work out for a bit. The question is how long until someone realizes something is up.
One thing that stuck out was Peacemaker’s father and brother mentioning pills and wondering if Chris was back on them. If that’s the case, then the two Peacemakers may not be too different. Who knows, maybe DCU-Prime's Christopher Smith is more well-adjusted. It’s doubtful, but who knows?
Second, Rick Flag Sr. is still working on arresting Peacemaker. One of his agents, Langston Fleury, was sent to infiltrate Chris’s home and learn why an anomaly is popping up at that location. Luckily, Eagly was there to protect his friend’s possessions and secret.
This won’t be the last time Flag Sr. goes after Chris. If anything, he'll try harder. Maybe Peacemaker will bring Rick Flag Jr. from the other reality because Jr.’s father is dead. Stay tuned to Bam Smack Pow to find out if I’m right.
