What happened in episode 5

In episode 5 of Peacemaker season 2, Chris travels to an alternate Earth where he finds a version of his life that appears to be much better: Auggie and Keith are alive, the family are celebrated as superheroes, and Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) is shown as romantically interested in Chris. After an incident in which Chris kills that reality’s Peacemaker, he impersonates him and explores that life. The episode ends with Chris returning to that alternate Earth and closing the portal behind him.

Fan observations from the alternate dimension

Viewers have noted several repeated visual details in the alternate dimension scenes. First, many background characters shown in those scenes appear to be white. Second, flags in the background are often positioned so that the star field is not visible. Third, Auggie is portrayed as a beloved public figure in that reality, which differs from earlier depictions of his character in this series.

Some of these observations come from social posts pointing out the flag placement and other visuals. For example, one fan shared an image thread highlighting flag positioning.

Take notice on how the American flag also doesn’t have the stars on them…Leota girl this doesn’t look too good for you… #Peacemaker https://t.co/IHaKBws5QD pic.twitter.com/EFjfxbYQCd

Earth‑X in DC Comics (comic facts)

There is a long-standing DC Comics alternate universe called Earth‑X. In the comics, Earth‑X is an alternate reality where Nazi Germany won World War II and established global domination. That version of Earth first appeared in Justice League of America #107 (1973). The Earth‑X setting has also been used in other DC crossovers, including televised adaptations of multiverse events.

What we know — and what we don’t — going into episode 6

We know what was shown on screen through episode 5: the alternate Earth scenes, the farewell to the portal, and the visual details that fans have pointed out. We also know that fans are comparing those visuals to the established Earth‑X concept from DC Comics.

However, we do not yet know whether showrunner James Gunn or the Peacemaker writers intend to explicitly identify the alternate Earth as Earth‑X on screen. Nor has the series confirmed any connection between the alternate Earth’s visuals and the specific comic-book history of Earth‑X. Episode 6 will be needed to confirm how the show treats that dimension.

In the meantime, fans and viewers can rewatch the alternate dimension scenes to check the details for themselves and see whether episode 6 answers these open questions.
