!Synopsis

The team heads to the factory, with Peacemaker still holding a grudge against Economos, but it's somewhat mitigated by their shared love of Hanoi Rocks. Murn gets a visit from his old mercenary partner who is asked to assist by Waller.

The team returns to the headquarters, giving the report to Murn who lets them go rest. Adebayo drops Peacemaker off at his trailer, and they go in for a drink, bonding together. Adebayo takes the opportunity to leave the diary at the trailer and leaves afterwards, going back to the office with Murn still working there. She tries on Peacemaker's X-ray helmet and notices a Butterfly inside Murn's head, and he is forced to attack her.
