Look into my eyes. Directly into my eyes. The Mad Hatter has you under his spell. Can you escape or will you go for a fall? Look no further than Gotham Undercover!
Look Into My Eyes:
Jervis aka the Mad Hatter (Benedict Samuel) has come to Gotham in search of his sister. He starts out at Barbra & Tabitha’s club and finds a mark to visit later. The good doctor was told to look directly into the Hatter’s eyes and his fate was sealed. Jervis visits the good doctor and has him kill off his wife and himself. Jervis has hypnotized himself into a mansion and money. But all that is on his mind is finding dear sister Alice (Naian Gonzalez Norvind).
Alice was in Indian Hill being experimented on my Hugo Strange. She has escaped and parted ways from Fish. But her blood is toxic. Any spill means a cleansing through fire. Alice’s landlord wants the rent or something in exchange. What he gets after licking her blood is a trip on the crazy train, slugs to the chest and a cremation. Alice does not want to be found by her brother, who she calls evil. But she does end up saving Jim from the Mad Hatter’s spell.
Look At Me Mimic You:
514A aka clone Bruce has ended up in Wayne Manor. He explains that he woke up in Indian Hill over a year ago with no memory of before. They experimented on him. He is looking for an identity and when he sees Bruce knows he has found it. 5 has very quick reflexes, faster than Alfred’s and feels no pain. Could this be from the scar on his neck? Selina is upset and looking high and low for Ivy, who she feels responsible for. Bruce wants to help but can’t because of 5. Selina leaves in a huff. 5 sees Bruce talk with Selina and sees an opportunity.
He takes a look at sleeping. Then he steals Bruce’s clothes, cut’s his hair, steals the Roller and goes to find Selina as Bruce. Oh what is in store for him? Bruce wants answers but now the person who could answer them has escaped with his identity.
Look At Me Loose My Cool:
Jim and Valerie have a very awkward morning after conversation. She has used him and leaves him high and dry. He heads to the GCPD for his money. There Bullock tries to steer him away from Barnes’ office. Lee is there and Barnes wants her back. She is hesitant because of Jim. Coming out the door she sees Jim and they have an awkward conversation. She is back in Gotham with her fiancé for good. He is the new head of trauma at Gotham General. Jim wishes her the best and stalks away.
Jervis comes to call on Jim with tea and a proposal. Look into finding my sister and I’ll pay you $10,000. Jim takes the case and after a tip from Selina gets on Alice’s trail. He get’s a beating from Alice’s former boss and stitches from Mario’s Lee’s fiancé. Needless to say the day is not going well. He look’s up Alice at home and finds her and her crazy landlord.
He heads to the Sirens Club to look in on Jervis. Jim has had it and wants answers. What he gets is hypnotized and almost killed. Alice saves him. He is still in a funk with two women who don’t love him and still reeling from the Mad Hatter’s hypnotism.
Jim is on everyone’s mind as Mario and Lee have dinner and a heated discussion. Mario wants to make sure Lee is over Jim. Before things get to heated, Mario’s dad Carmine Falcone shows up. He explains that Mario was not allow in the family business or to use the name but has made the family proud. Mario’s mom would approve of Lee. Is She really over Jim and is Jim over her? She says yes but is it the truth?
Look At Your Next Mayor:
Aubrey James is being pushed back to be mayor by the leaders of the city. The Penguin is not standing for it. He stood up to the monsters and he will stand up for the citizens of Gotham. He challenges James to the job and calls for an election. Butch is unsure but Penguin wants to make his dad proud and leave a legacy. After a guns drawn meeting with James, Penguin realizes he needs someone in his corner. He leverages the new head of Arkham to release Ed or else. With Ed out to help him, who will stand in his way?
Closing Thoughts:
This episode was so fast paced and the hour passed so quickly. I’m so glad for a second viewing. Plus it was nice to have a Fish free episode with a new and compelling villain. I cannot wait to see more of the Mad Hatter. Thanks again to John McGrail for joining me this week. You can find him over at Stuff I Learned Yesterday. Hopefully Karen’s mixer is now in and she will be back with no issues next week.
