It is the ninth overall episode of the series, and was written and directed by series creator James Gunn. It originally aired on HBO Max on August 21, 2025. Unlike the first season, which was set in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), this season is set in the DC Universe (DCU), a "soft reboot" of the DCEU, and takes place after the events of Superman, with Chris Smith / Peacemaker confronting his inner demons as he meets an alternate version of himself. The episode received highly positive reviews from critics, who praised Gunn's writing, character development, and set-up for the new DC Universe.
