After Peacemaker killed his alternate universe self, he called Adebayo over and told him about the quantum storage room. After learning about it, Adebayo urged him to hand the quantum storage room over to A.R.G.U.S., but Peacemaker refused. Left with no other choice, Adebayo left, reminding him to attend John's welcome-back party that evening.
Just then, Vigilante showed up, and Peacemaker called him in to help dispose of the body of the alternate Peacemaker. While handling the corpse, he found the other Peacemaker's phone. In his parallel universe self's phone, he discovered that he and Harcourt were in a relationship, with many affectionate photos of the two in the gallery.
After Peacemaker left for the party, A.R.G.U.S. sent Flagler and a small team to search Peacemaker's house without John's knowledge. Just as they were about to open the door after discovering the spacetime rift in the room, Eagly suddenly appeared. One eagle against five humans, Eagly pecked them into utter defeat—the concept of "man and eagle as one" was vividly embodied in this moment.
At the evening party, Peacemaker expressed his concerns about Harcourt's recent behavior, but she was not receptive. After getting heavily drunk, he returned home and noticed something was off but assumed Eagly had caused trouble, completely unaware that his house had been raided.
He picked up the phone again, wanting to message the alternate universe Harcourt, but realized messages couldn't be sent across universes. So, he entered the quantum storage room and traveled to that parallel universe, successfully sending the message. However, Harcourt on the other side seemed unwell and replied with a heartbroken emoji.
At that moment, he heard his father and brother calling for him outside—they had also discovered bloodstains in the study. All of this made him feel that things were about to take a turn for the worse.
