The fourth episode of Peacemaker season two finally explains the origin of the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, a mystery from season one[1]. A flashback reveals that 35 years prior, Auggie Smith (Robert Patrick) discovered a gravely injured alien and the Quantum Unfolding Chamber in the woods during a hunting trip with his sons[1]. Auggie killed the alien and found the mysterious metal object that would later be used to create Peacemaker's equipment, implying this is how the advanced technology arrived on Earth and how Auggie acquired it[1]. This explanation rectifies a thematic issue from season one, where it was implied that Auggie, a "low-rent criminal white supremacist" with only a sixth-grade education, was intelligent enough to build such advanced technology[1]. James Gunn's decision to clarify this plot device addresses the inconsistency of a bigoted, uneducated character secretly possessing brilliant scientific capabilities[1]. New episodes of Peacemaker season two are released every Thursday on HBO Max[1].
