On cue, the police bring Jerome into the interrogation room, and Gordon promptly lays the act of Lyla's murder on him. The blind man is sticking to his story, and Gordon figures he's protecting someone close to him. Gordon brings Cicero back in to peg him with a charge as an accomplice to Lyla's murder. While sweeping their flashlights across the ground and enjoying the romantic atmosphere of a vagrant village, they find a bloody hatchet engraved with the letters THFC, belonging to Satanist cult, The Hellfire Club.

She's also just as "gifted" as Gordon when it comes to leaping to conclusions as she quickly figures out that the message points to a patch of woods beneath Arkham Bridge, which is swarming with homeless people. Thompkins - a presumed woman of science - is immediately taken in by these mystical powers. Perhaps more ludicrous than the Paul Cicero, aka the Blind Fortune Teller's message is the fact that Medical Examiner Dr. he does understand how circus life works, right? While Gordon is struggling to solve the case, the episodic title character arrives, in the person of Mark Margolis (making it his second comicbook show appearance in the last few weeks).

Gordon sets the circus folk free (mostly), but warns them not to leave town. Gordon takes the opportunity to interview Jerome about his mother, a real "party girl." Jerome apparently isn't concerned with his mother's rather adventurous sex life. The GCPD gets a lot more bright and colorful when officers bring in the feathered and sequined performers in handcuffs. The big man shows Gordon where they found Lyla's body, and tells him of his decision to keep the murder within the. While the snake likely makes a meal of its mistress, Gordon lays the blame on the ringmaster.
(Are you kidding me with this?) The big boa finds a bloody Lyla dead in the back of a truck.
Seems like Lyla's gone missing, and according to Gordon's instincts, her snake is the best chance of finding her. When looking for the performer, a young man named Jerome ( Cameron Monaghan) answers the trailer door and answers Gordon's questions. (No sign of Dick Grayson yet, of course, but clearly love - of some kind or another - is in the air.) The trouble apparently stems from a snake-dancer named Lyla. It's back to business fairly quickly as a fight breaks out between the Graysons and the Lloyds, a family feud between circus performers. Tonight, Gordon takes a big leap forward in rounding out his personality by taking Dr. This was, honestly, a waste of screentime.īullock has been more or less a non-entity lately, and tonight's hour is no different. He's Falcone's gift to Penguin to help run the club. Looks like Zsasz's treatment has turned Butch into a loyal puppy dog. He's got a surprise for Penguin: Butch lives! But he's a little. Penguin later plays a little amateur piano ditty of his own, but is soon visited by Zsasz on behalf of Falcone. Kapelput and gets bloodied by Penguin for his trouble. A worse mistake is made by a drunken patron who boos Mrs. Penguin's decision to feature his mother as the headliner at his new club is perhaps his biggest mistake so far. It also brings in a new wave of antagonists to occupy the young billionaire. It's certainly a strong swing forward in Bruce's character arc, having gained the moral high ground over what is sure to be a somewhat, if not totally corrupt executive board. He is treated exactly as you'd expect by the rich and powerful adults in the room, but Bruce gets their attention when he plans to raise these issues at the next shareholders meeting. Undeterred, Master Wayne heads to the executive board room of Wayne Enterprises to pose some concerns about his company: Underworld involvement in the Arkham project, and chemical weapons manufacture at their WellZyn affiliate. When he finally wakes up, Alfred is attempting to dissuade him from talking to the big bosses. Bruce is dozing off after jotting down some notes to open the episode, which certainly looks cozy but isn't all that interesting.
