Peacemaker Secrets were disclosed, Auggie Smith planned to murder his kid, and the Butterflies
finally made their move against the supervillain in Episode 6, which was even more intense
than the previous episode (John Cena).
But, since we've gotten ahead of ourselves, let's begin at the beginning.
Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) discovered the horrifying revelation that Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji) is,
in fact, a Butterfly at the end of Episode 5, and Episode 6 picked up right where it
left off.
While it first appeared like Murn was going to attack Adebayo, it rapidly becomes evident
that he isn't, and Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) arrives on time, but Adebayo doesn't seek
for assistance; instead, she merely asks whether she now "knows" the truth.
Murn's Secret Has Been Revealed
Harcourt found out Murn's secret a long time ago, and even Economos (Steve Agee) knows
their commander is an extraterrestrial, so Adebayo interrogates Murn about his motivations
and why he took over the original man's body.
Murn admits that it may appear hypocritical, but he says he took over his host's body to
prevent the Butterflies from taking over the world, and that he chose the "worst individual"
he could find to do so.
His mental conflict about the decision is clear in his sorrow in reliving his host's
experiences, but he believes his cause is good, and Adebayo reluctantly agrees not to
tell anyone else, especially Peacemaker, about his secret.
Cut to the supervillain himself, who is having a very amusing conversation about his life
with youngsters at Jamil's (Rizwan Manji) daughter's school, and viewers get a peek
of his brother's death when questioned about his 'origin story.'
Meanwhile, Auggie (Robert Patrick) has been released from prison due to Detective Song
(Annie Chang) and Fitzgibbon (Lochlyn Munro), and he informs one of his white supremacist
supporters that he intends to murder his son – more on that later.
Song and Fitzgibbon decide to send a squad to Peacemaker's home to arrest him after they
let Auggie free and realized he was the one who caused the explosion in Episode 1.
The Cops are on the Lookout for a Peacemaker
When Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) arrives to visit Peacemaker, he is at home feeding Goff,
the Butterfly he captured earlier in the season.
Goff expresses his need to speak, and Peacemaker attempts to interact with the Butterfly by
tapping on its glass container, despite the fact that Vigilante is unable to pose any
question requiring a yes or no response.
When the cops come, Peacemaker and Vigilante are still disputing about the questions, and
Murn has a hard time getting the supervillain to answer his phone so he may warn him of
their impending arrival.
Murn manages to inform the pai what's going on just before his door is kicked down, and
they flee through a skylight and hide in the trees behind Peacemaker's trailer.
By tying the glass bottle to his waist, Vigilante brought Goff with him, and the two tried to
escape being noticed by Song, who noticed Eagly and decided to check behind the house.
Unfortunately for Vigilante, he loses his footing and falls out of the tree, smashing
the glass container beneath him and allowing Goff to enter Song's body.
Peacemaker and Vigilante flee the scene and are pursued by police, who hold them down
until Murn's inside man kills the officers pursuing them and tells them he's left them
a getaway car.
The Butterflies Take Flight
They make it back to base camp, while Song, now a Butterfly, goes to their offices with
an anxious Fitzgibbon, where she makes contact with the swarm of aliens.
The two inform the team that Goff has fled, and Murn warns them about the implications
of their error, but before he can further condemn them, Economos discovers the location
of the Butterflies' food supply, dubbed "the cow."
Song summons all of her other aliens and commands them to assault and take over as many humans
as possible, ostensibly in order to take out Peacemaker and his crew.
She and the Butterflies rip apart the police station where Song works in a spectacular
slow-mo scene, and everyone, even the captives, is taken over in the most heinous manner conceivable.
Meanwhile, Auggie gets ready for his confrontation with his son by enlisting the help of his
white nationalist supporters to put on his White Dragon costume.
Peacemaker plays the piano in the team's base, oblivious to the terrifying entities approaching
him, and then has a romantic heart-to-heart with Harcourt when she offers him a rifle
with a Dove of Peace lasered onto the side.
The episode closes with the Butterfly-riddled cops informing to the public that they have
Peacemaker's diary (the one planted by Adebayo in last week's episode) and that they intend
to stop him "by whatever means necessary."
