'Gotham' Recap: 'Rogues' Gallery'

The episode begins at Arkham Asylum where the prisoners are watching a play and Jim is standing by as a security guard. During the play one of the inmates snaps and attacks one of the actors. Jim restrains the man and the injured performer is taken to the medical ward. In the medical ward, Jim is told by Director Doctor Lang that this is the fourth incident since he has been there and that if something else happens he will be punished even further. Jim meets Doctor Leslie Thompkins who tells him what he is doing is very admirable. We see Selina walking in an alleyway and she finds a sick Ivy sleeping in a box. Selina takes Ivy to Jim’s apartment so she can recover.

Oswald is at the waterfront where is negotiating with some workers and the police arrive and knock out Oswald. Jim is making his nightly rounds when he visits the inmate Jones aka ‘The Frogman’ and sees that he is unresponsive and has two marks on his head. Dr. Thompkins reveals that someone used electroshock therapy on him and his brain is completely fried. Dr. Lang blames Jim for this and Jim responds that they don’t have the resources or staff to keep this place safe. He is given the task of finding the guilty person. Jim finds out that one of the other guards lost his keys during the fight.

Fish is having a meeting with Jimmy and Saviano about who would take over the family if something happened to Falcone. Jimmy claims that he should be next and Saviano completely agrees with him. Jim continues to interview the inmates with nurse Dorothy at Arkham and is not getting any results. He talks with inmates Gruber and Aaron, who seem suspicious but he still finds nothing against them. Fish talks with Butch about how they need to take care of Saviano before they can make a move on Falcone. Butch says he will talk to Saviano, but has a suspicious look on his face.

Jim awakes and finds another inmate with the same marks on his head from the electroshock therapy. His treatment was not as severe and Jim fears that the staff could be in danger. He warns Dr. Thompkins and tells Dr. Lang that he has called the GCPD. We see Barbara in bed when Renee comes in. They have a conversation and Barbara claims she is over Jim but Renee says that she is “toxic” and she can’t do this anymore. Barbara is very upset after Renee leaves.

Harvey arrives at Arkham and is reunited with his old partner. He encounters the two inmates affected by the treatment and takes Dr. Lang downtown for a chat so Jim investigate the patient files. Butch meets with Jimmy down by the waterfront and Jimmy says he is next in line to take over the Falcone family and wants Butch to leave Fish and come work for him. Butch seems tempted to make the switch.

Oswald is sitting in a jail cell inside GCPD when he sees Harvey. He wants Harvey to get him out, but Harvey says he likes having him there. Fish talks with Butch at the club and Butch says he is working to convince Jimmy that Fish is next in line. Dr. Lang talks with Harvey at GCPD and explains about the electroshock therapy. Dr. Lang said there is something bigger happening there and that Harvey should stop digging around. Jim is doing research in the patient files’ room when he asks Dorothy about the basement. She says it has been sealed off for ten years because of unsafe chemicals.
Jim and Dorothy are heading down to the basement when they run into Dr. Thompkins. Dorothy shoves Dr. Thompkins and runs off. Jim calls Harvey telling him that Dorothy is behind the electroshock therapy. Dorothy sounds the alarm and releases all of the inmates. The inmates begin chasing Dr. Thompkins and Dorothy is trampled and killed in the process. Jim tries to reason with the inmates but they attack him and he and Dr. Thompkins and they lock the inmates inside.

Barbara calls Jim’s apartment and Ivy answers the phone. Barbara is looking for Jim but Ivy messes with her, claiming to be Jim’s friend and Barbara responds with “Go to Hell!” and throws the phone. Maroni visits Oswald at the GCPD and tells him he is in there because he wants him in there. Oswald feels ashamed and promises never to do something without asking him again. Jim and Harvey are talking with Captain Essen about Dorothy when they find out that Dorothy was also a victim. We see a guard murdered in the basement and Dr. Lang walks up on Gruber and Aaron, another electroshock victim.

Harvey and Jim arrive at Arkham and find Dr. Lang and he tells them the name ‘Gruber’ right before he dies. Dr Lang had a note to Jim from Gruber. He explains his entire process and we see them leaving Gotham. Jim arrives home at his apartment and realizes someone has been there. He keeps yelling for Barbara. We see Butch and Jimmy meet at the waterfront again. Butch says he is in with Jimmy’s plan. He then apologizes about something he did when they were kids then shoots Jimmy in the head.
