Main cast: John Cena (Christopher Smith/Peacemaker), Danielle Brooks (Leota Adebayo), Freddie Stroma (Adrian Chase/Vigilante), Chukwudi Iwuji (Clemson Murn), Jennifer Holland (Agent Emilia Harcourt), Steve Agee (John Economos), Annie Chang (Detective Sophie Song), Lochlyn Munro (Detective Larry Fitzgibbon), Nhut Le (Judomaster), Mel Tuck (The Neighbor), and Robert Patrick (Auggie Smith)
Director: Jody Hill

Hmm, The Chaod Less Traveled is directed by someone else other than James Gunn. I guess Jody Hill must be a friend of his, or maybe a secret brother.

Oh well. In this episode, Murn seems annoyed that telling Peacemaker to shoot at kids without giving reason is the way to go. After all, that fellow has been a very dutiful, order-following fellow so far… oh wait. Ah, but that is what these people have been reduced to: one-note jokes whose punchline revolves around how incompetent and foolish they are.

Murn still wants to keep Peacemaker in the dark about things, so… okay.

Anyway, while going all bromance-turned-brohate-or-maybe-it’s-complicated with Vigilante over the incidents in the previous episode, and arguing with his father’s neighbor and hilariously enough rehashing a common grouse about Batman always letting his enemies to live and attack more innocent people, Peacemaker realizes that his “friends” had put his father in jail to throw the cops off Peacemaker’s rear end.

Yeah, Murn didn’t tell him that as well, although I guess I can understand why he didn’t. Still, it’s a facepalm moment that keeps piling up with the others of similar nature.

Still, it has Peacemaker realizing that his true friend in all of this is Vigilante, so that turns out okay, I guess.

Meanwhile, Murn asks Adebayo to go win back Peacemaker’s trust, the Judomaster escapes, and this episode is actually much better and more to the expectations set by the first episode, so that’s good.

There are some character development, as Peacemaker shows off his daddy issues, Adebayo is conflicted over the things she believes she has to do for the greater good, and Vigilante… well, I won’t be so sad if it turned out that he and Peacemaker are the end game. Harcourt is still a bitch that spends most of her time drinking and scowling and Economos is still a waste of space, but the rest of the secondary characters are shaping up to be more well-rounded characters, and that’s nice.

Oh, and the plot is going somewhere too, instead of just a showcase of the main characters’ stupidity and incompetence for cheap laughs.

This episode is funny, entertaining, and successful in getting me interested again in the rest of the episode. So, a job well done it is!
