In Chapter 6: Murn After Reading,” which came out on Thursday, rookie recruit Leota Adebayo learns that team commander Clemson Murn is actually a good guy Butterfly just like Gof, who is the leader of the Butterflies and had previously inhabited U.S. Senator Royland Goff, even finding a new host in P.D.’s Detective Song. Goff/Song’s squad of parasite-controlled cops are now preparing for the next alien invasion of the DCEU.
As it was revealed by the first look for Episode 7, The White Dragon isn’t just a costumed character out for revenge: Judomaster strikes back!
“Let me just put it this way: We only have two episodes to wrap up a lot of stuff. You can imagine it’s going to be very explosive, literally and figuratively explosive,” Iwuji told TV Insider. “Chaos is going to reign. Hilarity is going to be taken to another level. But at the heart of it, if you’ll excuse the pun, is the heart.”
“James Gunn always somehow manages to infuse heart in the most unlikely moments, and there’s a hell of a lot of that left in the final moments,” added Iwuji about Gunn, who is the brain behind Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad.
