The Hatter removes his sister’s body from the morgue
and drains every last drop of her blood into a bottle, planning on revenge
against all of Gotham. He then goes to
some magic shop and purchases a red powder, which is said to drive people
crazy, saying he is going to get his revenge on all of Gothem. He prepares for a dinner party, having
invited many distinguished guests, and puts a drop of blood into each wine
glass; Jervis Tetch addresses the ‘heads of Gotham’ and says it’s time for
heads to roll… he offers a toast and insists everyone drinks their wine. The Captain and his men storm in the room
and tell everyone to put their glasses down; he tackles Jervis to the ground. Vale wakes up and tells Jim that she knows
he truly loves Lee, since she is the one he told Tetch to shoot (figuring Jim
knew he would shoot the other); she tells him they are done, with a tear
running down her cheek. Jim won’t be
brushed off quite so easily; he comes back to the hospital to visit her, and
sees Tetch, who catches Jim coming around a corner and blows some of the Red
Queen powder in his face. Jim goes on a
strange trip, down in an elevator with his ex-wife, where she tells him he has
to “ride out the trip,” they stop on a floor where he sees Bruce, wearing a
mask, but then Bruce disappears; a blast, and he is in a war trench with
Penguin, who is speaking jibberish, then tells him never to leave his unit
behind… he runs off to find Bruce, who shows him the police department full of
dead bodies; then Bruce, with the mask down, shoots Jim, then pulls beads out
of his stomach and pushes him off the ledge.
He wakes up, being resuscitated by his ex….in the elevator again. She takes him to another floor and pushes
him off, he enters a house, where a little girl and boy greet him as ‘daddy’
and Lee comes out of the kitchen, his wife; they sit down to dinner, the light
starts swinging and the light fades, the kids disappear, then Lee; he is back I
in the elevator again with Barbara. She
gives him a key and tells him to use it, or don’t, it’s up to him. He steps outside to see a man looking for a
car key; it’s his father… he tells him to get in or their going to be
late. He hears something and looks up,
through the walls of the building, to where he is laying on the floor; a doctor
and nurse come in and find him. He gets
in the car with his dad, who apologizes for not being around more; he tells his
dad he admires him, and wanted to be like him – but he’s the opposite, he
says. He’s not a hero. His dad tells him the Gordons have a code
they have to live by and asks if he remembers what it is; then a car sideswipes
them – headlights turn into hospital room lights. Jim wakes up, saved by Lee’s fiancé, Falcone. Bruce has a date with Salina; they are both
a little apprehensive and slightly stand-off-ish. He made her a cake; they cut it.
Penguin is not happy when Ed tells him he has met someone, and thinks
he’s in love. After all, Oswald was
just about ready to confess his feelings for Ed. Edward’s new girlfriend is head over heels in love with him; even
though Oswald did his best to dissuade her from any interest, by telling her Ed
killed his last girlfriend. He comes
home from the dinner party to find them kissing, surprised to see her there –
he begins to tell Ed about the party disruption, but excuses himself
promptly. In another location, two
elders (one woman, named Catherine, and a man, wearing a ring identical to
Jim’s father’s ring) discuss the dinner; he says she left just in time, she
says indeed. He asks about the new
mayor and says they will keep an eye on him – judgment is coming, he says, from
all of them. Jim tells the Captain that
he wants to rejoin the GCPD, saying he made a promise to someone when he was
younger and intends to keep that promise.
The Captain welcomes him back.
