Well, that was UNEXPECTED that "Murn" wasn't going to kill her, and isn't like any other Butterfly. The real Murn was a murderer having dark and twisted thoughts. This Butterfly wasn't like any other Butterfly. It was overly sensitive and abandoned by its kind. The butterfly took over the "worst person", having struggles over reliving its host's memories. Daaaaang, character exploration! I'm kinda glad that we didn't go over the betrayal route because that would be too obvious and the team has to relocate to another location and stuff. Also, the scene with Peacemaker answering kids' questions was funny. Meanwhile, Chris' dad is out of prison thanks to the evidence he has, convincing the two Detectives. He gets in a pickup truck telling his member that he made a mistake, and that was making his son live, and plan to kill him soon.
Later, Chris is at home feeding both of his pets with Vigilante coming to visit him. Goff draws with the liquid they like to drink a Peace symbol. This leads the two to communicate with it through taps on its glass container. God, it's so funny where Vigilante asks any question that doesn't require a yes or no answer as the Police surround the trailer. The arguments between Vigilante and Peacemaker are top-notch. "Oh! Okay, I see. I see how you are. Your preferred conversation partners are Eagly and Goff! Neither of who are capable of speech! Try introspection on that, REDACTED!" Bro, I am dead. Screaming intensifies. To be fair, I relate to Peacemaker's frustration as I rather speak to my cats rather than humans.
Murn calls Vigilante which Peacemaker takes, he tells them what's happening and they escape through a skylight and hide in the trees behind the trailer before the door's kicked down. Of course, they had to bring Goff which I wouldn't blame them, but Vigilante loses his balance and falls out of the tree LITERALLY crushing the glass container underneath him and letting Goff out, who immediately takes over Detective Song's body. I have to say, that is nightmare fuel material. There is no way you can get rid of that butterfly going through your mouth. Peacemaker and Vigilante escape and return to base camp learning the source of the cow. Best boy Eagly taking down down those officers. "Eagly is hardcore, man!" Agreed. I feel quite bad for Fitzgibbon as he has great chemistry with Song asking her many questions and worrying. Later, Song calls some butterflies and orders them to attack and take over many humans in the Police Department.
I have to say, that song "Monster" is a BANGER. Always keep them coming, James Gunn. Poor Fitzgibbon. I adored his character. And I did not expect the new Sheriff in town to not be a Butterfly in the first place. Wow. Adebayo has a brief discussion with her girlfriend about her struggles in which, the girlfriend responds that she should leave. Deep! We see Auggie going to his secret room to retrieve his White Knight armor which I have to say - BADASS! After the invasion of the prison, the whole "squad" walks in a hallway smiling creepily. Sheriff do be giving off Joker vibes, not going to lie. God, that piano scene is AMAZING. We have a heart-to-heart scene between Peacemaker & Harcourt. Some of the members watch the news of the Butterfly-riddled police revealing to the world about the news and they have his diary which reveals to have secrets. Because of this, they aim to stop him by whatever means necessary. Jesus Christ, what an ending!
Overall, it's filled with memorable scenes, an epic soundtrack, comedy, brilliantly written, tension, the plot is improving, well-played, great acting, tight pacing, and especially character development like Harcourt where she doesn't think that Peacemaker isn't a total piece of REDACTED. My favorite scene has to be the invasion part. I can barely describe how "awesome" that whole scene was. The soundtrack perfectly fits in that scene.
I can't wait for the next two episodes, and there is so much speculation going on. Certainly, there will be someone who will become a Butterfly. Brutal action scenes to come, gruesome gone, and more "WTF" moments to come. The upcoming duel between Peacemaker and his father is going to be legendary!
10/10.
