[sc:gothamtop]There is a new leader in the GCPD. Captain Barnes was a Marine and he is taking no slack. He fires the most corrupt of the group and sends a message to the rest. No quarter for corruption or slacking. He makes Jim his number 2 and the two recruit a fresh crop of academy recruits. They form Barnes’ Unit Alpha of the GCPD Strike Force. Theo is still the chess master and has made Penguin his pawn. He has plans for Bruce as well. It looks like Gotham will need a Strike Force to combat the coming storm.
Theo is moving forward in parlaying his publicity from saving Bruce into a bid for mayor. He has Penguin’s mom and forces him to do the dirty work. Penguin and Butch do a drive by on Theo, kill Caulfield, and would have gotten Hobbes if not for Jim and the Strike Force. Butch finds out about Penguin’s issue and vows to help him find his mom. Theo officially declares he is running for mayor. Penguin is furious that is mother is captive and he is out of control. Theo is always one move ahead. The love triangle of Theo, Barbara & Tabitha is in full force, but when will the fall out come?
Captain Barnes is on task. He starts by cleaning out the trash at the GCPD, recognizes Jim’s warrior spirit, and knows how to recruit the best. He does his homework and knows Jim needs a team or he will burn himself out. He gives Jim the unit he needs. A unit that is smart, dedicated and ready to fight the corruption in Gotham.
Ed listens to his stronger side and asks Miss Kringle out. He is good cook and the date goes well, after he admits he talks to himself. The romance is on!
Bruce meets with Theo to thank him for saving his life. Theo uses the opportunity to throw doubt on the GCPD and even Wayne Enterprises for not doing enough to find the Wayne’s killers. But Bruce’s attention is distracted by Silver St. Cloud. Theo’s “niece” who is back in town and going to school with Bruce. He needs a friend there. He is an outsider. Alfred is holding him to the promise of school and training. Alfred is also trying to protect him from Selena. He punches her and tells her to leave. We close seeing Silver with a sun halo calling to Bruce and Selena sitting in the gutter with Alfred’s words punching her harder than his physical one could ever do.
Karen & Geoff discuss this and much more!
