Peacemaker Season 2 Reveals Why Emilia Harcourt Can’t Be With Chris Smith

by

Why does Emilia Harcourt maintain a distance from Chris Smith in Peacemaker’s second season? The latest episode reveals more about their intricate past, hidden memories, and connections with recurring characters that may change the dynamics of their relationship.

Here’s a closer look at the revelations that explain why their connection may never move forward.

Why Emilia Harcourt can’t be with Peacemaker in Season 2 explained

In Peacemaker Season 2, Emilia Harcourt won’t have the chance to team up with Chris Smith due to her previous bond with Rick Flag Jr.

Episode 3 features a moment from the past where we see that Harcourt and Flag Jr. had a deep connection before they embarked on the Corto Maltese mission. In fact, Flag Jr. proposed that he and June Moone part ways for her sake. Surprisingly, Harcourt admitted that she was his only friend. This history adds layers to her feelings towards Smith, as he was responsible for the death of Flag Jr. during The Suicide Squad. This incident significantly affects their relationship dynamics.

In the parallel universe Smith explores, Harcourt is involved romantically with Rick Flag Jr., who’s alive in that world. This recalls Chris’s past trauma of killing Flag, causing him to confront the reality that despite betraying Flag, Harcourt remains loyal to him. The Harcourt from this alternate reality continues to date the living Flag. In the primary DC Universe timeline, Harcourt continues to mourn the loss of Flag. No matter how Smith tries to bond with the parallel universe Harcourt, the unsettled past between her and Flag presents an insurmountable barrier.

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but reflect on the intriguing dynamics of Harcourt and Smith from season 1. Despite the undeniable camaraderie between us, she somehow managed to maintain a distance, even going so far as to push me away after our chance encounter aboard a party boat. This unexpected move put an abrupt end to what might have been something deeper.

Now that I’ve witnessed the shocking revelations of season 2, her motives are crystal clear. The bond she shares with Flag and his untimely demise at my hands is the reason behind her emotional walls. Clearly, she finds it difficult to let her guard down, knowing our past history.

To compound matters, Senior Flag is pursuing a vengeance against Smith, which makes Harcourt’s connection to him all the more perilous. Establishing any kind of relationship would not just dishonor her memory of Senior Flag, but also place her squarely at odds with his father.

In essence, my allegiance towards Flag Jr. has been the root cause of Harcourt denying me, Smith. This bond of loyalty, stretching across both life and death, has thwarted any chance of romance between us, even when another dimension presents a deceptive facade of a more joyous outcome.
