Jim Gordon visits a brothel to look for Harvey Bullock. Not finding him, he leaves a note for Harvey with the madame. Meanwhile, a group of drug addicts sneak into an abandoned lab to look for drugs. However, they discover Ivy Pepper emerging from a cocoon in a new physical form. When one of the addicts tries to touch her, she infects him with a fast-acting toxin.
After getting kicked out of Wayne manor, Alfred Pennyworth has been living in the Narrows and fends off thugs who try to rob him with the help of Gordon. Lee Thompkins meets with the Narrows citizens to discuss their business when a man launches a toy plane equipped with an explosive and sends it after her. Grundy deflects it toward a window where it explodes, causing a fire in the building. Alfred and Gordon help everyone escape from the building while Lee, Edward Nygma and Grundy escape unnoticed. Grundy has flashes of his past life and proclaims himself again as Butch Gilzean.
Alfred wins the respect of the thugs who tried to assault him and hailed as a hero in a local diner, especially the waitress.
