Canon

Best Friends for Never

Chris is crying when Adrian appears at his window in Vigilante gear. Chris calls him a stalker, and Adrian asks if he's alright. They start arguing till Chris asks why he didn't just knock on the front door like a normal person. Adrian saw the light on and thought someone was creeping around and is really happy that Chris is back. He asks why Chris is crying, and tries to play it off as doing "face exercises". Adrian asks if Chris will teach him, and Chris says yes.

Chris says that his place was turned upside down when he was arrested, so it's a complete mess. Adrian asks if he wants help cleaning up and Adrian starts doing so. He asks how Chris got out, and Chris says that it's a secret. Adrian points out that he's Chris' best friend, but Chris says that he's not. Adrian asks who it is and Chris says that its Eagly. Adrian asks who his human best friend is, and Chris points out that he doesn't even know Adrian's real identity. Adrian says that he doesn't to keep Chris safe, and Chris asks if he really thinks people will torture him to get his secret identity. Adrian says that he's careful, which is the reason Chris went to prison and he didn't. He asks again how Chris got out, and Chris says that he kills people for the government now. Adrian thinks that's sick, but Chris admits that he's been having a lot of thoughts about what he's doing.

Behind the Scenes

“I understand how you could think that Vigilante is in love with Peacemaker. I’m not sure how I would see that Peacemaker’s in love with Vigilante. Peacemaker, to me, he just seemed irritated by Vigilante for eight episodes, for the most part. I mean, there’s times when he cares about him. He doesn’t want him to die in Episode 7. I don’t know that that’s love. I mean, it’s a kind of love.”

— James Gunn

“To me, it's like [Peacemaker]'s the older brother that [Vigilante] looks up to, and he loves that bromance, and he loves being able to be... He wants to be a superhero, and he wants to have someone to go on that journey with. There's bromance, but one way. Peacemaker has moments where he does like Vigilante. But he definitely has to put up with him for the majority of the show. It's very one-sided.”

— Freddie Stroma
