PEACEMAKER Star Jennifer Holland On Harcourt's Decision To Kill [SPOILER] & "Throwing Mein Kampf At A Nazi"

Jennifer Holland weighs-in on Emilia Harcourt's decision to remove a potential threat to Christopher Smith and her other friends in this week's episode of Peacemaker...

The penultimate season 2 episode of Peacemaker season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max, and several characters made some pretty shocking decisions that are certain to have major repercussions as we head towards the finale.

Major spoilers follow.

After Vigilante "rescues" his friends by jumping through the window and brutally stabbing Auggie Smith to death, the 11th Street Kids restrain a furious Keith... delivering some (arguably unnecessary) near-fatal damage in the process.

A distraught Chris intervenes at the last minute, but things don't look good for his alternate universe brother. As the others drag Peacemaker through the portal, Emilia Harcourt takes it upon herself to finish Keith off, just in case her recovers and comes after Chris and the gang seeking revenge.

However, before she can pull the trigger, she is forced to retreat in order to avoid being captured or killed by the cops.

During an interview with Variety, Harcourt actress Jennifer Holland discussed her character's mind-set when she decided to put Keith down for good.

"When I read that scene, I was like 'She’s doing this,' even though she knows that if Chris ever finds out that she killed him, he will never forgive her. It’s the one thing that he cannot accept. He found his brother alive, which is something that when you don’t have someone throughout your whole life, you think about the idea a lot. With my mom who passed away and my dad who passed when I was very young, sometimes I wish I could pick up the phone and call them. You daydream about the ability to have a relationship with them, and Chris has gotten that with his brother, even if he’s from a different dimension. He can’t watch Keith die again in front of him.

Harcourt makes that decision despite the fact that she knows that it’s not what Chris wants, but she has to do it to protect him, and to make sure that she doesn’t have to watch over his shoulder all the time wondering if Keith would kill him. It’s a crazy decision for her to make, even though she’s not able to go through with it because she has to make the decision between her life and taking his."

Keith will surely be off his feet for a while, but we assume there will be a bit of a time-jump before the events of next week's finale.

Holland also had a couple of big fight scenes this season, and explains why her more comedic battle in A.R.G.U.S. HQ was a lot more fun to shoot than that brutal bar fight from the first episode.

"The bar fight was incredibly emotionally charged, because it has things about Harcourt that we haven’t explored yet are coming out in that aggression. The fight scene in A.R.G.U.S. [in Episode 7], I walked onto set, and learned that I was going to learn a fight sequence that I had never learned before. Fortunately, with the stunts team, they had worked with me with multiple other fights prior to this one in this episode so I knew what to expect. It was so fun, because I got to throw a Mein Kampf at a Nazi’s face. It was pretty amazing."

Peacemaker season 2 follows Chris Smith, the vigilante superhero, as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evildoer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost. He discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be. But this discovery also forces him to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands.

"The new season follows Christopher 'Chris' Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante Super Hero as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evil-doer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost.

@SirReginald - Unfortunately we didn’t fully defeat marxism in the 20th century so the ugly people are back to having orgies again.

Nazi this, Nazi that. Nazi, Nazi, Nazi. You know, it's weird how people still fearmonger about Nazism when the ideology itself overall died with WW2, 80 years ago. Meanwhile, Communists killed far more people, enslaved far more, and still have countries who have communist leaders. Yet, there will never, EVER be a season about Communists? Why? You know why. I know why! Gunn is a marxist hack.

Reboot the MCU and DCU

@WalletsClosed - "You know, it's weird how people still fearmonger about Nazism when the ideology itself overall died with WW2"

Have you tried looking at America lately? Hell, even not lately there's always been a huge Nazi presence in the states. The secretary of defence has a literally Nazi symbol on his chest. And before you come back with the "it's thr cross of Jerusalem" bs defence, thats not true. 2 groups use it these days. Nazis and Georgians. And Pete isn't from Georgia. Only Nazi scum cry about Nazis being portrayed as villains

@Malatrova15 - We should realise that national socialism could be adopted by any race. It isn’t an exclusively White political ideology.

@BigPhilbowski - "Only Nazi scum cry about Nazis being portrayed as villains"

I'm not crying. Stop making up shit. I'm just tired of the repeated virtue signaling from freaks like Gunn. How many times do we have to see Nazis being bad? We get it. Enough. Now show communists, J supremacists, the gangs in Chicago, or the illegal border hoppers. ALL CURRENT events that are far more harmful than Nazism. You know they won't though. Don't gaslight me.
mountainman
mountainman - 10/4/2025, 1:06 PM
@BigPhilbowski - There is zero Nazi influence in the modern US. But there is a marxist influence, and as history will tell you, that ideology killed exponentially more people than the Nazis ever did. In 2025 we’d be far more benefitted by treating anyone who is even remotely marxist/communist/socialist the way you people fear monger about the non-existent Nazis, since the modern marxists are destroying our current world more than any other group. We should do a McCarthyism 2.0 on steroids and purge these people from our society. Or better yet, we should be like Pinochet and give them all one way helicopter rides.

@mountainman - buddy, there isn't anything close to Marxism in the states and only a dumb ass yank would think there is. Your so called left would be centre right in the rest of the world and it's why we all laugh at ye when ye make such ridiculous claims. And no Nazi influence? You've a president openly being supported by Nazi groups along with the klan, you've literal Nazi groups marching through towns flying swastikas and members of the administration with Nazi tattoos. Trump has literally qouted Hitler and you've had other Republicans quote Goebbels and use him as a positive example. [frick] outta here with your BS lies. You're either too stupid to realise what's going on in your country or you're openly supporting them
mountainman
mountainman - 10/4/2025, 1:37 PM
@BigPhilbowski - Communist flags fly at many of these BS left wing protests. Just saw one in Denver last week. People wear Che Guevara shirts. There are numerous professors at colleges that openly and proudly declare that they are marxist or communist. The current front runner for New york mayor wants government run grocery stores. You will find many open and proud marxists on Reddit. Bernie Sanders has praised communist regimes. The entire left were praising Venezuela before it failed like every socialist/communist regime always does. BLM was an openly marxist organization. Anyone who is anti-capitalist is a marxist. You are such an ideologue that you ignore all these facts and allow for the worst ideology in human history to flourish.

Logically if they want to stop Keith seeking revenge they just need to change the code on DCU Peacemakers door and problem solved.

It was probably also Harcourt's way of making it so that Chris had a legit reason to never want to do anything with her again; to indirectly vindicate her earlier self-loathing.
