The ending of the previous episode of Peacemaker season 2 showed us all that the utopian dimension Christopher Smith thought he was in was anything but glorious. It was the universe where the Nazis won World War II and created a world known as Earth-X (which you probably saw coming if you’re a comic book fan). Now that Chris knows this, he'll certainly be eager to leave it behind, especially with his best friend, Adebayo, being in danger simply because she's Black. Yeah, Earth-X isn't a good place to be.
Fans speculated that this was coming, and actor David Denman teased that something major was coming towards the end of the season. Nevertheless, knowing and witnessing are two different things. Seeing a Nazi symbol on the American Flag and hearing Keith (Chris’ brother, played by Denman) say “One of them escaped” to Adebayo was triggering. It was a horrifying moment, but one that the show succeeded in highlighting.

What to expect in Peacemaker season 2 episode 7
First of all, Peacemaker viewers will see what happens to Adebayo after she was chased by an angry mob in the previous episode. If this writer had to guess, both Adrians (Vigilante from Earth-1 and Earth X) are going to play a part in protecting her. After learning the truth about this universe, Vigilante of Earth-1 will immediately think about Adebayo, and his counterpart will help him.
Second of all, what will happen to Emilia Harcourt after her counterpart orders her arrest? In the preview for this episode, you can see that she escapes, but how? This writer believes that Earth-X’s version is part of the resistance with Adrian. That’s why she didn’t leave with Chris to go to A.R.G.U.S. and was so cryptic about what she was about to do.
Lastly, I think two deaths will permanently affect the two main characters. Peacemaker himself may be forced to kill his brother and father (again) to protect his friends. The second death may be Rick Flag Jr., and I’m on the fence on whether it will be Chris who kills him or if Emilia pulls the trigger. If it’s the latter, her struggles may get worse. Sure, this version may be evil, but he still had the face of her friend. However, this could be the thing that brings Chris and her together. Stay tuned to Bam Smack Pow to find out.
