Jim is looking at the file on Michael Ness; Harvey
tells him they can’t find Nigma, after
all he did. Jim figures out that the
man who killed his father, driving “drunk” wasn’t really drunk after all; he
hit them on purpose. It was a hit. Jim confronts the Commissioner; he asks him
who ordered the hit on his father. He
says, “Frank Gordon. Your uncle.”
Afterward, Jim pulls a gun and holds it to the head of Frank Gordon; he
asks if it was true. Gordon says yes,
trying to explain that he “became a risk” to the Court, by threatening to
expose it; Jim arrests his uncle for the murder of his father. As he’s putting the cuffs on him, Jim is
caught offguard; Gordon head-butts him.
He has information about where the weapon will be arriving (the one the
Court is planning on unleashing on Gotham); he tells Jim that he needs to meet
with the Court and “buy some time” and says Jim needs to find out ‘when’ it
will be arriving, and make a choice.
Jim and Harvey try to figure out who they can get to help them; he calls
Barbara (who is now calling herself “Barbara Queen”). She goes and tortures a man to get him to tell her what is
arriving at pier 9C.
Ivy wheels Penguin into her greenhouse; she is all cherry,
and he is being a grump. She’s trying
to baby him, and it’s making him angry; he asks about all the plants… she tells
him they are her friends. She gives him
a cup of Willow tea; he throws the cup on the floor and says he needs to get
back to Gotham. She tells him she could
help, if he weren’t being such a jerk.
He asks her to deliver a message for him, to Gabe; she demands a
“please” then agrees to do it. When
Gabe shows up, he nearly squeezes Penguin to death; Penguin tells him that he
needs him to put together an “army.”
Gabe takes a minute to understand what he wants of him; Oswald calls him
a “human Labrador” when Ivy ask about him.
Penguin insults her when she tells him that she thought they were
friends; she sulks. Gabe surprises
Penguin and backhands him across the face, knocking him out cold; when he comes
to, he is tied up in a chair, next to Ivy.
She tells Penguin she expects him to be nice to her from now on; she
tells their captor to lean closer to her so she can whisper in his ear; he
falls under her spell and she orders him to kill all the other men. She stops him from killing Gabe, for
Penguin; Penguin gets the man’s gun and tells Gabe loyalty must be extended
before it can be returned. Gabe falls
to his knees and says he will do anything for Oswalds forgiveness; Penguin asks
Ivy to make him smell her purfune. Gabe
calls Penguin a “tiny freak who used to
hold an umbrella” and Penguin goes crazy.
He grabs a garden shovel and stabs Gabe numerous times, screaming “a
freak, a freak, a freak, ahhhh.”
The Court of Owls meets; the lady leader talks
about a weapon they are going to unleash on Gotham, to cleanse it, so they can
“rebuild” it themselves. They pass
judgment by sticking feathers in a stand to show their agreement; Gotham must
fall, she says. Jim meets with his
uncle, who tells him that he is supposed to kill him; he tells Jim, as he holds
a gun on him, that he needs him to join the Court of Owls. He tells him to finish what he started and
says he his parents would have been so proud of him; then he shoots himself in
the head. Jim screams.
Bruce wakes up in
a prison; a man comes in and Bruce asks if the Court of Owls have something to
do with this. The man neither admits or
denies this; Bruce says he will be missed, but the man says they’ve taken
precautions to make sure no one notices he’s gone. When the man leaves, Bruce tries to escape, but just keeps
running from one hallway to another, that all look the same. The man seems to be at the end of every
hall; Bruce asks him if it is some kid of maze. He asks Bruce how long he’s been running down the corridors of
his life, just to end up in the same place.
Bruce says he’s not scared of him; the man notes that he is scared of
something though. He tells him to sit
and see what he has to offer. He shows
Bruce a set of ‘needles’ with an engraved symbol on the end, that seems to
hypnotize Bruce; he goes into some sort of other realm. The man tells him they have returned to
Gotham; Bruce sees his parents walking down the street, and himself, and the
man pulling the gun. He comes back to
reality; the man tells him he just “relived” a memory. One is always inside their own mind, he
says; he tells Bruce he has never really left that alley and tells him to go
rest.
