Lanterns episode 6 will finally kick off the popular show's 2026 storyline — these are the 5 huge questions it has to answer about John Stewart, Hal Jordan, and Guy Gardner

Episode 6 of the popular DC Universe TV show Lanterns is set to kick off the 2026 storyline, finally addressing several key questions about the beloved characters John Stewart, Hal Jordan, and Guy Gardner. With only three more episodes remaining in the show's debut season, fans are eagerly anticipating answers to these five critical mysteries.

First, the episode will reveal the current whereabouts and lives of John Stewart and Hal Jordan in 2026. While we know what happened to Hal since the Battle of Rushville, John's fate remains uncertain. Could he have returned to his artistry roots, becoming a successful architect in one of DC's famous fictional cities like Metropolis? Or has he settled down in Rushville, perhaps even reconnecting with his former flame, Kerry Kane?

Second, the presence of a Green Lantern beacon in the center of Rushville is a puzzling mystery. In the absence of John Stewart and Hal Jordan, the question arises: who installed the beacon, and why? Might Guy Gardner, the current human Green Lantern, be responsible? If so, why would the residents welcome this symbol of their hero?

Third, the identity of Hal Jordan's killer remains a major unresolved mystery. While the episode 6 preview suggests that the big whodunit will be revealed, we can expect further clues and candidates throughout the final three chapters. Potential suspects include Bill Macon, Noah, and even an unknown individual.

Finally, there is speculation surrounding Hal Jordan's death. Despite HBO Max's confirmation, some viewers remain skeptical and question whether the death was genuine. With the possibility of a second twist, fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the resolution of this critical plot point.
