James Gunn returns as writer/director, steering the series deeper into multiversal chaos and emotional confrontation. In this episode, the 11th Street Kids mount a desperate mission to bring Chris Smith / Peacemaker (John Cena — The Suicide Squad, F9) back home, while tensions build in the DCU as Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) makes a secret visit to Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) in Belle Reve, asking for his help with the dimensional crisis. Meanwhile, Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks — Orange Is the New Black), Vigilante / Adrian Chase (Freddie Stroma — Bridgerton), Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), and John Economos (Steve Agee) infiltrate Chris’s alternate universe dimension and discover dangerous truths about his chosen reality. Some of the episode’s most buzzed-about and highly searched moments include the cameo of Lex Luthor and the dark, alternate reality reveal where American symbols transform into Nazi iconography, confirming that this universe is sinister and corrupt. The emotional confrontation between Chris and his love interest Emilia also lands heavy, as does Vigilante’s face-to-face meeting with his Earth-duplicate.

What I like about the Earth-X "reveal" is that we basically all knew it. But it's not because Gunn did a bad job of hiding it. Harcourt figured it out within an hour, so the point is it's SUPPOSED to be really obvious and Chris is just so blinded by wanting it to be what he thinks he needs from it. I think that's a really unique way to give us a "twist" perspective. Now I really hope these last 2 episodes are fully in-story and they don't do the new TV series thing where the penultimate episode is a lot of flashbacks and outside filler just so we get a 35 minute true finale.
