![]() ![]() Victor says he’s there on behalf of Carmine Falcone for Jim Gordon, and the cops sell him out rather quickly. Remember that hitman Falcone planned to send for Gordon? Well, a bald man dressed all in black enters the police station with two leather-clad women they immediately assume control over the folks in the GCPD. (Is this the first time this character was mentioned?) Meanwhile, Gordon plans to execute warrants on the mob bosses, corrupt policemen, and politicians. While Barbara's safely away, Gordon returns to the GCPD and takes a stack of blank warrants signed by a Judge Bam-Bam. Gordon sees Barbara off at the train station and says he needs to stay behind and makes things right, and warns her to stay away from Gotham if he doesn’t make it out alive. Butch threatens to kill him and Barbara, a threat Gordon answers with a shot to one of the thug’s kneecaps and a smashed nose for Butch. Butch is particularly heinous in his treatment of her, but luckily Gordon shows up with his gun drawn and forces them both out. Gordon takes him down and heads out to presumably save Barbara, who’s currently hosting two of Mooney’s thugs. After Penguin revealed himself to be very much alive, Gordon tries to warn Barbara to get somewhere safe, but Bullock coldcocks him and keeps him at gunpoint. While Penguin's busy building his empire from the ground up, Gordon's attempting to take the mob down from the very top, namely Falcone and the Mayor himself. Maroni warns Falcone to be careful going after Gordon, but perhaps he should be careful with his own in-house snitch since we see a flashback sequence in which Falcone and Penguin make a furtive deal that continues to this day. Maroni turns down the offer, but gives Falcone “Indian Hill” instead, a toxic waste dump in Arkham on top of an indian burial ground. Falcone offers to let Maroni keep Penguin, unharmed, but asks for some real estate, in the form of a riverfront warehouse. Later, Maroni and Falcone meet up over the mutual grief over the losses of Nikolai and Frank. Penguin tells him that his problem is that he’s a cheapskate, and his former comrades hold him up while Penguin stabs him to death, all thanks to a bump in pay. Maroni’s right-hand man isn’t impressed with Penguin and threatens to kill him, saying he got caught in the crossfire. They blow the door and come in guns blazing Nikolai and his gang never stood a chance. Penguin leads Maroni’s gunmen right to Nikolai's hideout, where he and his fellow hoodlums are playing a casual game of cards. Maroni wants to hit back and takes Penguin’s advice on where to do so. Luckily for the nuns, the truck stops in time, but unluckily for Maroni’s gang, Falcone’s thugs rob them of their crates of guns and leave the drivers with a bullet in each leg. We soon find that the nuns are chained up across a road, and a Maroni moving truck is about to run them down. Meanwhile, a gaggle of nuns walk down a dismal street and are stopped by Butch riding in a creepy panel van. Maroni gets Penguin to offer up an apology for disrespecting Mooney and Falcone Mooney is not appeased and is now out for blood. Penguin is back at Maroni’s side (apparently no longer with the cops). Mooney meets up with Maroni in hopes of getting Penguin handed over to her. Falcone plans to send Victor (Zsasz) ( Anthony Carrigan) after Gordon. Falcone wants a peaceful situation to the problem, while Mooney and the others want to oust him once and for all. ![]() She’s concerned that Penguin knows too much inside information. When Mooney learns of the news that Cobblepot is alive, she tells Falcone that she wants Gordon, Bullock, and Penguin to die, and Maroni if necessary. Penguin gets a new theme, some new goons, and a new umbrella to open up tonight’s episode. Not only does Penguin have dirt on Mooney and Nikolai, is squarely in Maroni's circle of trust, and has Gordon on edge, he's also secretly in Falcone's employ, making the up-and-comer one of the city's biggest power players. ![]() Though he spent much of his screen time in the shadow of more powerful mob bosses, it's eventually revealed that all of the events in the criminal underworld since Penguin's original death sentence have been keenly orchestrated by Mr. This was Penguin's episode in name and in actuality. ![]()
