The following contains spoilers for Peacemaker Episode 8 “Cow Or Never.”The Peacemaker season finale arrives with “Cow Or Never.” As the name of the episode implies, it’s a race by the remaining members of the Project Butterfly team to stop the butterflies from teleporting their “cow” to a new location on Earth. Full of almost-deaths, big action sequences, and plenty of pathos, the episode closes out the season nicely.

It doesn’t bring with it a ton of Easter eggs for comic book fans, but it does reference plenty of previous moments in the DC Extended Universe. There are a lot of callbacks to earlier moments in the series itself and in the wider movie universe. The episode even has some surprising cameos and an admission that one comic book character does exist in the DCEU that the audience might not have known about before.

Eight episodes into the series, the audience is no longer surprised that Peacemaker has a comment to make about literally any superhero name that pops up. What is surprising, however, is to hear him and the team make reference to Green Arrow.

So far, Green Arrow hasn’t appeared in the DCEU. CW’s Arrow series might be a larger part of the multiverse, but the character isn’t a part of the movie universe. Speculation amongst fans has wondered if the character might make his debut in Black Canary’s upcoming HBO Max movie.

While Peacemaker primarily uses guns throughout the series, he does carry other weapons on him as this episode demonstrates. He alluded to them earlier in the series, and now, he finally gets to use his blowgun. The weapon is a holdover from the comics that is rarely used.

He also carries a shield into battle during the big confrontation
