Walter Peck

Overview

GBFans describes Peck arriving at the Ghostbusters’ firehouse to investigate possible environmental violations. Venkman refuses access without a court order. Peck returns with legal orders, rejects Egon’s warning about the containment system, and insists that its power be cut. The shutdown releases the imprisoned ghosts and causes an explosion; Peck blames the team and has them arrested.

At the mayor’s office, the Ghostbusters challenge his account while police and fire officials report extraordinary disturbances. The mayor backs the team and removes Peck. After Gozer’s defeat, falling marshmallow covers him in the street.
