Synopsis
Fish Mooney reveals a secret of Oswald Cobblepot's, prompting Maroni to take him on a trip to test his loyalty. Meanwhile, Gordon and Bullock hunt down a killer who targets victims with severe phobias and Bruce Wayne confronts Gordon for failing to make progress on his parents' murder case.[1]
Plot
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 Mullens, 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 Crane, as he tries to drown Mullens in a pool from her childhood. Crane's teenage son, 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. He was found by churchwomen and makes his way back to Gotham on a church bus. Fish tries to leave Gotham, but her boat is suddenly attacked by mercenaries.
