[sc:gothamtop]Mommy’s Little Monster shows the depth that Penguin will go to in order to find vengeance for his mother. Theo is still the chess master and several steps ahead of Penguin, and everyone else. Penguin knows Theo has an endgame and plans a smart attack on Theo. In the end, He waddles away wounded and still hungry for revenge. Penguin may be mommy’s little monster but he is not the only monster revealed this week.
Ed wakes up to find that Dark Nygma has hijacked his body and hidden Kristen’s at the GCPD. Riddles lead Ed to find her and the Riddler’s trademark question mark appear in several places. Ed searches and finally finds her, but has to ask Leslie for relationship advice to prevent his crime being discovered. At the end of the episode, the confrontation between Ed and Dark Nygma comes to a head when both merge. Did we just witness the birth of the monster known as the Riddler? If not Ed just took a giant leap in that direction.
Theo the chess master lays out a portion of his plan to Tabitha and Silver. Get Bruce so wrapped up in Silver and trusting no one but Theo is move one. Then Theo steals Wayne Enterprises and finishes Bruce. Silver is no innocent pawn. Theo calls her a vixen. She knows exactly how to play Bruce. Selina thinks she can use her friendship with Bruce to make him see Silver. Selina gets her claws out and attacks Silver’s character. Silver declaws her but good acting. She has Bruce right where Theo wants him and all Selina can do is look from the outside with disgust.
Penguin goes after his mother, but Theo is moves ahead. He plays Penguin shown him he lost Butch and makes him beg. Theo toys with Penguin setting his mother free only to have Tabitha to stab her in the back. Penguin draws Theo close and cuts him and escapes. Theo uses the new power to have the law, the GCPD & Dent’s DA’s office, to force Penguin to ground and make him desperate. Theo knows Penguin will come after him. He is right but Penguin does it in a surprising way, dressing his gang up as Penguin’s. A literal march of the Penguins to battle. Jim is protecting Theo and Penguin says he knows Theo’s end game. Tabitha shoots him to shut him up. But wily Penguin escapes to hunt for vengeance another day.
Jim & Bullock have learned some of Theo’s plans and past maneuvers thanks to Butch and Penguin. Jim is not happy about being played. He confronts Theo about it. But for now they are not making moves only verbal threats.
This season the acting has been amazing. The writers have been on point. Each week is exciting to watch. I like it when story lines keep me guessing and thinking about them all week long. I hope you enjoy the podcast as Karen & I talk about this episode. You don’t want to miss it!
