| − | Gordon and Bullock investigate a murder where the victim was hung from a skyscraper and the killer stole a gland from the body. Their search takes them to a support group for people with severe phobias, the victim's being a fear of heights. [[Edward Nygma]] tries to examine the corpse, but is suspended by Captain Essen on request of the medical examiner Dr. Guerra. Bullock meets and becomes infatuated with [[Scottie Mullen]], head of the support group, who has a fear of drowning. Gordon finds Selina Kyle in his apartment, learning she lied about seeing the Waynes' killer. He speaks to Bruce, who releases him from his promise. A man with a phobia of pigs is abducted off the streets, but Gordon and Bullock track down the kidnapper and rescue the victim. Essen and Bullock call the case closed but Gordon is not convinced. Bullock goes to the support group, where he witnesses one of the members, "Tod", who has a fear of failure, abduct Mullens. Gordon and Bullock track down "Tod", whose real name is Gerald [[Crane]], as he tries to drown Mullens in a pool from her childhood. Crane's teenage son, [[Jonathan Crane|Jonathan]], tries to talk his father out of it but he fails. Gordon and Bullock rescue Mullens, but Crane escapes with his son. Dr. Thompkins determines that Crane took his victim's adrenal glands for unknown reasons. Nygma frames Dr. Guerra of stealing body parts, resulting in Guerra's dismissal and Nygma's reinstatement. Meanwhile, [[Fish Mooney]] contacts Don [[Maroni]], telling him that [[Oswald Cobblepot]] has been working with Don [[Falcone]]. Maroni takes Cobblepot to his cabin upstate, where he eventually confronts him about it. Cobblepot tries to shoot Maroni, but Maroni tricks him and tries to kill him in a car compactor for his treachery. Cobblepot manages to escape by telling and scaring the man who's controlling the compactor that Falcone threatens him by killing him and his family if he kills Cobblepot much to Maroni's frustration. He was found by churchwomen and makes his way back to Gotham on a church bus while seething over Mooney exposing him. Fish tries to leave Gotham, but her boat is suddenly attacked by mercenaries. |

Plot
On the roof of a building a man wearing glasses, a trench coat, and black hat puts a rope around the neck of Adam Jodowsky, tied and gagged to a chair, and hangs him from the building. Elsewhere, Don Maroni and the Penguin celebrate after the latter tells Maroni about the defeat of Fish Mooney at the hands of Falcone. However, Maroni receives a surprise call from Fish informing him that the Penguin was actually Falcone's man, and had played them both in an end run. That information, coupled with Maroni's own doubts, caused Maroni to take Cobblepot with him a on trip with him to the country. When the GCPD finds the body of the hanging man Bullock is present and is given advice by Captain Essen, to watch himself, as Detective Flass had many friends on the force. At Barbara Kean's penthouse, Gordon arrives, and finds that Selina Kyle had been staying there in his ex-fiancee's absence. Soon after, he is told by Selina that she didn't actually see the Waynes' killer, and had lied.
After hearing this, Gordon visits Bruce at Wayne Manor to confirm what he had been told. However, Bruce decides to relinquish Detective Gordon from his promise, as after several months had passed, Gordon hadn't found any leads, aside from Selina, who turned out to be a liar. Maroni takes Penguin to a cabin in the country, and during breakfast he shares his suspicions about the death of Frankie Carbone, and how Falcone snatched up Indian Hill which he had traded for Penguin's life, despite it being worthless. At the GCPD, Bullock talks to Scottie Mullen, Adam Jodowsky's sponsor, and a member of the phobia group had been apart of. Believing that the murderer could be one of the group members, Harvey prepared to attend the next session. Meanwhile the mysterious man abducts another person on the street whilst using his phobia against him, which was a pig. At the GCPD, Nygma is suspended indefinitely after being caught again performing an autopsy without the authorization of the actual medical examiner. Going to the furniture factory that made the chair used to hang Jodowsky, Gordon and Bullock to the surprise of both, find a guy, wearing a pig mask, torturing the kidnapped man. Elsewhere at sea, Fish Mooney is attended to by the ship's' captain.

After Scottie hadn't returned for several minutes, Bullock arrives as "Tod" drives with her held hostage in the back of his van.
