Spoiler alert: This story includes details from episodes of Season 2 of “Peacemaker.”

Things are looking bleak for John Cena’s Chris Smith as Season 2 of "Peacemaker" comes to a close.

After alternating between two worlds for most of the season and eventually deciding to live in the alternate universe, Smith has now found himself behind bars. His Quantum Unfolding Chamber, which gave him access to the alternate dimension, meanwhile has fallen into the hands of the Advanced Research Group of the United States (ARGUS), who are wasting no time in using it. In addition to that, Smith blames himself for all the deaths around him, referring to himself as the "angel of *expletive* death" in the teaser for the final episode.

With Smith now behind bars, “Rick Flag Sr. tasks his team with searching the Quantum Unfolding Chamber for another dimension where he can carry out his plan,” the final episode’s synopsis says.

Prior to the release of the season finale, it remains to be seen if Smith will make it out of prison and if any of the characters will be falling before the season ends.

“Peacemaker,” based on the character from director and screenwriter James Gunn’s 2021 film “The Suicide Squad,” follows the “explosive escapades” of Peacemaker, “a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it,” according to HBO.

“Peacemaker” is also the first original DC show to have its series premiere on HBO Max, according to HBO Max head of original content Sarah Aubrey.
