Peacemaker, “Stop Dragon My Heart Around”, Review!

 A little Re:cap before we get started - Sophie, the butterfly Queen, enters the Evergreen police department with her horde of butterflies.  Fitzgibbon tries to run, but he, Locke, all of the officers and prisoners are taken by the butterflies!  Leota is confused about who she would betray and Keeya tells her to leave the situation.  Emilia forms a dove symbol on Peacemaker’s FN P-90 which she gives to him.  He wants to give up killing people, but he is fine with killing aliens.  Alone, Peacemaker starts to play on piano, “Home Sweet Home” by Mötley Crüe.  Vigilante takes him to see the latest news report.  

Leota sees on television, Captain Locke giving a press conference about Peacemaker’s diary about the alien invasion, killing Annie Struphausen, Senator Goff, and the Glan Tal workers.  Records are played by young Chris and his brother, Keith, and they are told by one of the followers that their father is ready for them.  Auggie is complete with a mullet.  The brothers are taken to a sand pit to fight. The older Chris looks at himself in the mirror.  The bloodied Chris punches his brother to the cheers of Auggie’s people.  They become silent as Keith starts to twitch.  Chris hears over and over his father saying he killed his brother.  Vigilante has been knocking trying to check on Peacemaker.  


Peacemaker walks out ready to run with Leota betraying him placing the diary and Locke was supposed to protect them.  He finds Judomaster missing from the couch, doesn’t care, and starts to take his bag with Peacemaker helmet.  White Dragon has put tracking devices on the Peacemaker helmets and finds the headquarters.  Economos wonders about Peacemaker’s diary.  Peacemaker is set on killing the Cow with Vigilante and Economos goes with them.  Leota is watching the news when Emilia enters angry that she planted the diary for Amanda Waller.  They start to argue and Emilia realizes that Amanda is Leota’s mother.  Murn knows the situation and wants them to pack up and leave. 



Two young men head to a liquor store, EZ PZ Mart (great name) and are startled by Judomaster eating his Cheetos.  Emilia leaves a message for Peacemaker.  Now, we find she is the most trusted character on this show.  Economos is driving the van while the others are rocking out.  The White Dragon’s crew is following them in another van.  White Dragon is flying above them.  He slams into the van sending it flying on its side.  Then, the White Dragon tears open the van and tries to blast his son.  He is sent back by Vigilante’s machine gun fire.  White Dragon is forced back in front of his followers.  


Vigilante tosses a grenade that drops White Dragon.  Peacemaker is tracked by the Skinhead Girl (Jen Znack) seen last episode.  Vigilante sees them pass as he is hidden by a tree with his injuries.  Peacemaker is walking with Economos and realizes his helmet is what is being tracked. Skinhead Girl sees Eagly overhead and then the followers see Vigilante take their car.  The two men exit the liquor store and are taken care of with lethal strikes by Judomaster who goes back to eating his Cheetos.  Murn is getting his computer ready and then sees the police outside his window.  Emilia is rolling her luggage and moves to the side as Sophie, Locke, and other officers try to knock on the apartment door.  


She draws on Leota and has her take cover.  The Skinhead Girl is tracking Peacemaker, really a raccoon with the helmet tied to its tail, very funny!  Eagly joins Economos and Peacemaker.  Vigilante takes off his mask, but then starts to black out driving the car.  Murn has his walkie talkie to tell the others to leave as the police try to break into the apartment.  He says he is proud to have them on the team, “finish the job”, and kill the Cow.  He shoots at Sophie, but Murn is restrained as she asks about the Cow and then shoots him several times.  Emilia and Leota hear Sophie saying to move “the teleportation equipment” to the ranch.  The Murn butterfly flies out of him, but is captured by Sophie and crushed.  



When they leave, Emilia and Leota enter the apartment, Emilia finds the dying butterfly and uses her index finger to touch the butterfly’s hand.  Kinda touching in a weird way.  Judomaster shows up, kicks Emilia and Leota, but Emilia is ready for a fight.  He knocks around Emilia, but she tells him “the rope-a-dope” and Leota shocks him repeatedly with a stun gun!  Love this scene!  Skinhead Girl finds the signal and they all surround the point, but find its a raccoon.  Peacemaker finds Vigilante in the car and wakes him enough to get in while Economos is peeked at by Eagly.  Economos tells Vigilante about the tracking device and then they stop the car. 


Peacemaker finds a bag of helmets in the trunk.  He takes the bag and is about to throw it when the hooded men run out of the woods.  Peacemaker starts to run as Economos sees what is happening.  He is cornered and struck by tire irons and baseball bats.  He, um, finds Vigilante as Eagly starts to attack the hooded men.  White Dragon lands and then strikes Eagly!  Peacemaker runs to tackle his father.  White Dragon uses his powered fist throwing Peacemaker back.  The villain goes on a rant about Peacemaker killing his brother and having affairs with men and women.  Vigilante leaps on White Dragon’s back and shocks him in the “gaps of his armor.”  He is thrown off and into the guns of the followers.  Economos saves the day again gunning down the followers. 


 White Dragon tries to blast his son, but his armor malfunctions.  Peacemaker punches his father again and again.  Hating himself for listening to his father.  He finds a Luger from his follower and then finally gets some peace from his father.  Vigilante is still clueless about Peacemaker’s sadness, not as fun as last episode.  Leota helps with Emilia’s wounds and explains she worked at a dog shelter.  Emilia admits that Leota is “good at the job.”  She gets a call from Peacemaker.  They head over to Paws A Moment where Dr. Hurwitz (Haig Sutherland) and his assistants are held hostage by Vigilante.  Leota missed a call from Keeya.  She sees Peacemaker praying over Eagly.  She watches as Eagly revives and hugs him.  Peacemaker takes a smiling selfie with Eagly.  Economos is looking for a leader and Leota gets the 11th Street Kids approval for Emilia Harcourt!  Peacemaker ep. 7 is one of the best of the series, this fantastic ep is directed by Brad Anderson!   


Five Peacemaker helmets out of Five!
