Gotham’s current dynamic duo Jim and Bullock arrive at Arkham Asylum with a search warrant for Hugo Strange’s office. Strange obviously knew this was coming and shredded documents. Jim promises Strange they will catch him. Strange makes threats to him. The standoff has begun. Strange is also concerned that Azrael is on the loose. Edward is plotting a way to escape Arkham.

Azrael is loose...Penguin is back!

Azrael is praying inside a church and quickly disposes of a priest. Ruthless. Penguin still hasn’t cleaned up since taking out the Van Dahl family. He is getting dressed and is determined to find Galavan. Barnes is in critical condition at Gotham General. GCPD is in a frenzy with the search for Azrael and investigating Arkham. It seems Bullock has become the acting captain of GCPD. He gives a good motivational speech that even had me giving a standing ovation. Bullock suggests they pay a visit to Tabitha.

Bruce and Alfred are out for a drive when Bruce jumps out of the car and tells Alfred he is tired of putting faith in others and wants to help. He wants to go out on his own again. Alfred reluctantly agrees. Bruce goes to visit his old pal, Selina. He is one determined young man. He wants the truth. He tells Selina they need to break into Arkham. Selina is convinced once she finds out her friend might be there.

"Death to the son of Gotham"

Gotham’s odd couple Tabitha and Butch are arguing when Jim and Bullock swing by. Jim wants Tabitha to help them find her brother. Tabitha gives us a brief history on Azrael’s origins and how Azrael is probably searching for the original sword, which is buried with their grandfather. The trio then go visit the cemetery where the grandfather is buried. They find the sword right at the moment Azrael surprises them. He beats up Jim and Bullock and Tabitha does a last ditch effort to make him remember. They share a touching moment, where Azrael remembers his first mission…to kill the son of Gotham. He then stabs Tabitha.

Selina and Bruce appear to be sneaking into Arkham through the laundry truck. The foreshadowing isn’t just with Bruce, it is also present with Selina. She goes into the laundry vents alone. She bumps into Edward who is trying to escape. They agree to help each other.

Jim goes searching for Bruce while Bullock helps a critically injured Tabitha. Alfred talks with Jim and tells him that Bruce is out on his own. Alfred is on his toes when he almost stabs Bruce as he silently sneaks in. They decide to lockdown Wayne Manor to prepare for Azrael. Bruce finds a broken window which means only one thing. Azrael confronts Alfred and tells him to take him to Bruce.

Penguin's quest for revenge

Butch visits Tabitha, who is the second person this episode to be in critical condition at Gotham General. He says some nice things to her and before he can confess his love to her, his old boss Penguin arrives. Penguin isn’t buying the Azrael gimmick. He wants to take revenge against Galavan. He makes a deal with Butch…they take out Galavan and he will leave the odd couple alone.

Selina sneaks into Arkham and uses the distraction caused by Edward’s escape to get into the elevator. She makes her way into the basement which we know as Indian Hill. She hides and overhears Strange and Peabody talk about moving the patients and that Azrael has gone rogue. She also witnesses some of the side effects that patients face during Strange’s experiments.

Alfred and Azrael engage in a great fight(one of the best ones this season) which we see Azrael get the better of Alfred. Jim is struggling to get to Wayne Manor. Bruce tries to hide in the garage and even tries to run over Azrael. That doesn’t work. Azrael grabs him and is preparing to kill him when Jim saves the day and opens fire, which seems to put down Azrael. Is it possible Jim killed Galavan twice in one lifetime?

Galavan/Azrael rises and Jim is unfortunately out of bullets. Penguin and Butch arrive and Penguin is here for revenge. He tells Jim you must bring the right tools. He tells Galavan he will see him in hell. Butch then pulls out a rocket launcher and LITERALLY blows Azrael to hell. Wow. Just wow.

Home Stretch

Edward finally makes it out of the air vents but is quickly greeted by Arkham security. That was short-lived. Selina continues sneaking around Indian Hill and goes into an experiment room. She finds her friend Bridgette. She is no longer Bridgette. She has completed transformed into Firefly. Strange and Peabody look on with an approving look.
