Peacemaker Episode 5 Easter Eggs

The following contains spoilers for Peacemaker Episode 5, “Monkey Dory.”Picking up the next morning after the events of Episode 4, the team at the heart of Peacemaker is still reeling from their encounter with a family of Butterflies. It’s time for the team to really get down to business, and they decide to follow up a lead with their Glen Tai business card. That leads them to a factory manufacturing and packaging food for the Butterflies — and their investigation takes a violent turn when the factory is, in fact, full of Butterflies as well.

Some much-needed camaraderie forms between the five while Murn stays behind to deal with the White Dragon situation. Fans are more likely to get a chuckle out of the pop culture references made while the team bonds than they are to spot any comic book Easter eggs this time around.
