Gotham Season 3 is really beginning to heat up with Bruce’s clone, and older Ivy a new relationship for Jim, and the return of Lee, this season will be amazing. Barbara has a special guest at her nightclub, a wondrous hypnotist. The man hypnotizes a wealthy patron and truly takes over his mind.
The hypnotist intrigues Barbara because with his skill he can make people do absolutely anything. This man is none other then the villainous Jarvis Tetch, or the one and only “Mad Hatter”.
Bruce’s clone is starving and introduces himself as 5. 5 woke up in a lab a year ago. He wanted to meet Bruce as soon as he saw him. Alfred wants to get rid of the boy, and Bruce says not until they figure out what he is.
Jim and Valerie spent the night together and Jim is a little smitten. Barnes is happy that Lee is coming back to work for the GCPD. They see each other after such a long time and Lee is surprised. She is moving back to Gotham with her fiance and Jim is clearly a little crushed by the thought of working with his ex.
The man Tetch hypnotized wakes up to answer the phone, Tetch tells him that his home isn’t his anymore. He has the man kill his wife and then himself. This man clearly is insane as one would expect the Mad Hatter to be. He is looking for his sister Alice so at least he isn’t all bad.
Alice is renting an apartment and ends up affecting the landlord in some way. I’m curious what her power actually is.
The former mayor decides to take on his old position as mayor. Penguin waddles in and announces his candidacy for Mayor. He wants an emergency election and his mob is ready for him to win.
Bruce and Alfred are training as they usually do. 5 comes in and Bruce insists Alfred spar with him, 5 is able to hold his own against Alfred. When Alfred hits him he doesn’t feel an ounce of pain, this boy isn’t normal.
The Mad Hatter goes to see Gordon and ask him to find his sister. He is going to give Gordon double his usual fee for finding Alice. Of course bounty hunter Gordon is on the case!
Penguin has a pretty decent size election base. He wants to make Gotham safe again, similar to a certain United States Presidential candidate. i could definitely get behind Penguin as mayor as he really is just one of the best characters on the show. Penguin is then told the former mayor wants to meet with him.
Bruce is talking with 5 when Selina comes in, upset by the loss of Ivy. Bruce holds her hand and they have a sweet moment where she asks him for help.He tells her no, and she is hurt because this is the first time she has asked for help. 5 watches from outside the room and perfects a Bruce voice. There is more to this Bruce clone that is for sure.
Selina is looking for Ivy when Gordon meets up with her asking for help finding Alice. If she helps him then Gordon will look out for Ivy.Gordon goes to the last place Alice was seen and takes out the owner who knocks him hard on the head. Going to the hospital he meets Lee’s fiance. If he hurts Lee in anyway Gordon will deal with him.
Penguin and the ex mayor have a meeting and when Penguin looks like he is going to attack him his goons come out. But Penguin has even more goons of course.
Gordon finds Alice and when he tells her that her brother is looking for her she runs. Looks like the siblings don’t see eye to eye, obviously because he is insane.
5 cuts his hair to look like Bruce as his whole goal is clearly to take over his life. Bruce wakes up to find 5 gone and realizes he must go find him. Penguin heads to Arkham to meet with the new man in charge and asks for a certain friend’s release.
At the nightclub, Tetch hypnotizes Babsy into being madly in love with him. When he rejects her she breaks a glass and pushes it close to his throat. Gordon reports to Tetch and they talk privately about the situation involving Alice. Tetch then hypnotizes Gordon into walking over to the building’s ledge. He tells Jim to step off the ledge when Alice appears, she shoots Tetch breaking his hypnotism. Though of course Tetch is able to get away to cause more trouble later.
The Riddler is released from Arkham to go and join Penguin as a part of his campaign.The evil dynamic duo are back together! Lee and her fiance Dr.Mario are on a date when he talks of Jim. Mario’s dad is one Carmine Falcone the old mob boss of Gotham and he walks in to join them.
Selina is sitting outside when 5 comes to see her, apologizing as Bruce. 5 is clearly going to be a big plot point of this season. I am excited for next week’s episode ‘New Day Rising’ where the Hatter comes back with a vengeance.
