Lee and her fiancé have dinner with his dad. He tells her he is sorry to hear about the
Captain; she tells them that everything he did was due to the virus, and
explains about it. They finish dinner
and leave; the valet goes to get Falcone's car. It
explodes. Gordon comes to investigate
along with most of the GCPD; Falcone tells James they need to talk – he tells him
he has his share of enemies. Why now,
James asks… he says his son is getting married, what better time to settle an
old score. Gordon tells him he doesn’t
need him and his men tearing up Gotham, looking for revenge. Falcone says he will allow Jim one day to find
whoever is responsible for this.
Penguin holds a meeting, Barbara walks in asking if her invitation got lost; he says no, she points a gun at him and asks if he knows where Tabitha and Butch are. Penguin denies knowing anything; Barb says they are an item now (barf, she adds)… says she’s supposed to check in every night and she hasn’t. She assumes he took them; he tells her to apologize and beg his forgiveness and he might let her leave alive. She puts the gun away and apologizes. He tells her, regardless of their history, if she ever points a gun at him again, his giant of a maid, Olga, will be cleaning her brains off the floor. He orders everyone out. Penguin calls to tell Nigma that Barbara King was there looking for them; he asks if Nigma is “finished” yet – Ed tells him he needs time to work through his grief. He turns around to tell Butch and Tabitha, who are tied to chairs in the shop he is in, puts a ball gag in Tabitha and Butch’s mouth but then takes Butch’s out; Butch tells him to give Penguin a message for him. Ed tells him this has nothing to do with Penguin; it’s about Isabella. Butch says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Nigma gently electrocutes him.
Jim and Harvey show up at another crime scene, too late; the body is still warm. Looking through some papers, notes of some sort, Jim says, “Carmine is not the target.” They run out; they head to the wedding rehearsal… Jim grabs the groom and tells him he is the target, not his father. A car drives by; bullets fly. Salina and Bruce sit down to lunch; Salina is rather rude to Alfred. She says she wants to leave and he says she shouldn’t; she asks Bruce to “tell the help” that she can come and go as she pleases, but he says he agrees with Alfred. They sort of get in a fight and when she says nothing has changed, he says she has made that abundantly clear. He says he is determined to find out what that key goes to; Salina says he should consider that it might just be an old key. He says no. Ivy tricks Alfred into smelling her perfume and asks him how you turn off the alarm; while cleaning the key, Bruce asks Salina why she told Ivy they weren’t a couple… she asks why he told her they were. She says she just wants to be “them” and not make a big deal of it; he concedes. They notice Ivy is missing; Bruce asks Alfred how she turned off the alarm – he has no explanation. A man calls and says he has Ivy; he wants a ransom. Alfred asks where and when; they go to a manhole, as directed. Bruce tells Salina he knows there is no sense in asking her to stay there; she says no and heads down the manhole. Bruce follows; they find Ivy and the men holding her. Bruce demands to talk to the man they work for. They tell the men they didn’t bring the key with them; Bruce says he needs to speak to the woman in the mask, to know his friends will be safe. The man tells Bruce he is not his enemy… he says a group that calls themselves “the Court of Owls” is the enemy.
Jim talks to Mario and tells him he needs to stay at the station until they catch this guy; he says he isn’t going to let him ruin the wedding. He goes to talk to his father; the father swears that his son wouldn’t be mixed up in anything. Jim gets a call; Mario has left the station, saying he was going to “take care of it” himself. Barbara comes by while Penguin is out and tells the man she wants to talk to her; she flashes her ring to tempt her… she takes it. She says Mr. Penguin treats her nice; she likes him, but the other one, not so much. She mentions how much Mr. Penguin likes Nigma and Barbara seems surprised, laughs and says they’ll revisit that later. She asks about Nigma and if he said anything about her missing friend; she said he mentioned a “special delivery” and gives her a receipt from ‘Stocks and Bondage.’ Butch still swears he has never even heard of this woman, Isabella; Nigma gives up on electrocuting him. He turns his threats toward Tabitha. Butch insults him and he shocks him one last time, no-so-gently; Butch passes out. Tabitha asks what he wants; he takes out her gag and tells her he wants an eye for an eye… but in this case, he’ll take a hand, he says.
Barbara goes to a sadomasicist shop and tortures a guy until he gives her the number to the safe; she finds a paper and calls Nigma a sick bastard. She walks out, leaving the man trapped head and hands. Nigma explains the next part of his plan, and gives Tabatha a choice - a blade that will fall on Butch, or fatal jolt of electricity. Bruce asks this man who they are; he says they call themselves “The Whisper Gang,” Gotham’s most notorious smugglers. Business has changed, he says; he knows what the key goes to – a safe; he shows Bruce a map and the location of the safe. He says he doesn’t know what is in the safe, but it’s obviously important because there are people who don’t want them to find it. Bruce shows the man the key he found; he says these people killed his parents… he backed off because he thought there was no way to beat them. That may no longer be the case, if what this man says is true.
James finds Mario, in a jewelry store; he tells him they have to get out of there, then sees a bike through the window. It’s too late; gunshots, masked men and jewelry displays getting knocked over. Mario sticks a ring in one man’s eye, and asks why they are coming after him. As he chokes him, the man sputters out, “you know why.” Jim calls Lee and tells Mario she deserves to know what’s going on; he says either he tells him, or he will. He gives Tabitha the trigger for the shock, and puts her hand in a tiny guillotine; if she leaves it there and sacrifices her hand, Nigma says he will set them both free. Butch pleads with her, and tells her he loves her; she tells him she isn’t in the same place, but she drops the trigger and leaves her hand there. She passes out after looking at the blood spurting out of her amputated limb. Butch begs Nigma to untie him so he can take her to a hospital now. He and Barbara take her, and her hand, to the hospital; Barbara figures out who killed the librarian… she tells Butch, if she is right, they can have way more than vengeance, then says they need to start a war.
Harvey congratulates Jim and says it’s not everyday you get to save the man who’s going to marry the woman you love; then he tells him that he should tell Lee how he feels. They look out the window to see Falcone pulling a tooth out of the suspect’s mouth – a gold tooth; Jim threatens to arrest him, and he tells him the man won’t be filing charges. He walks out. On a rooftop, a masked man asks the leader of the Whisper Gang if he has found the second key; he doesn’t answer. The man stabs him. Falcone talks to an obviously rich woman in a limousine; he says he knows she set up the murder and made it look like a mob hit. She tells him he won’t win; he says if his son dies, winning won’t be the point. She tells him his son is safe, at least from them, for now; she will call on him when she needs him – she tells him to enjoy his dinner, and he exists the car. Lee says she was on her way to the rehearsal dinner and then heard herself telling the cab driver his address; she says her fiancé is a good man… and then asks Jim what he has to tell her. He says he wants happiness for her, more than anything; she says it sounds like goodbye – adding they haven’t done it properly yet – and she kisses him, and says, “Goodbye, James Gordon.”
Mario, walking down the street, is harassed by some punks; he grabs one by the neck and lifts him up in the air, screaming, “she loves me, and I won’t let her go… she loves me!” His eyes are turning red and bulging; he must also be infected with the virus.
Penguin holds a meeting, Barbara walks in asking if her invitation got lost; he says no, she points a gun at him and asks if he knows where Tabitha and Butch are. Penguin denies knowing anything; Barb says they are an item now (barf, she adds)… says she’s supposed to check in every night and she hasn’t.
