The Dangerous Man Wins
Cheering opens the episode. Lincoln March — confirmed dangerous man — proclaims to a crowd, “Isn’t it nice when the great man wins?” He was the one mayoral candidate in Gotham that wasn’t revealed because the deadbeat dad of one in all Gotham’s most wished, so to no-one’s shock, he received.
Interspersed with Lincoln’s speech, we see Courtroom of Owls goons exhuming a casket and wheeling it right into a room full of medical tools. They open it, revealing the physique of a person. As an alternative of a shroud, he was buried underneath a Talon costume. Gloved arms start to arrange an Electrum concoction.
As soon as the combination is run, the person’s eyes jerk open. Because the digicam strikes out, we see that the giver of the Electrum serum was Rebecca March.
Beep, Beep, Beep
On the Belfry, Harper brings Stephanie espresso. She appears reserved as she compliments Stephanie on standing as much as her mother and father. Stephanie makes a remark concerning the “sober gentle of day” that doesn’t land proper between the 2 maybe-sorta lovebirds. Stephanie instantly begins to clarify what she meant, however they’re interrupted by a wierd noise someplace within the Belfry.
Downstairs, Cullen is happy to get up with out Duela as his alarm clock. He greets Turner and tries to ask him how he’s doing, what with Duela bailing, however Turner is distracted by the identical beeping that Harper and Stephanie heard.
After bickering over Duela (and whether or not she left them a ticking time bomb) the Knights lastly uncover the supply of the sound — it’s a low battery warning on the receiver for the lapel digicam. The one Turner wore to the Courtroom of Owls gala, which Brody instructed them Lincoln destroyed. The Knights name Carrie and work out that both Brody lied, or he didn’t ship the textual content to Stephanie, as a result of the digicam should nonetheless be in a single piece to be sending the sign. Which suggests the cardboard — with footage that might show their innocence — would possibly nonetheless exist too.
Stephanie tells the staff that Brody talked about stashing the video together with his weed. They understand that they have already got plans of the penthouse, because the Marches dwell in one of many buildings designed by Alan Wayne. Whereas they focus on, Lincoln seems on the TV, speaking about doubling the reward to seek out Bruce Wayne’s killers. Stephanie notices that the report is dwell, which means that Lincoln just isn’t dwelling. Time to maneuver!
Mr. Mayor
Lincoln is celebrating his election, schmoozing with Gotham’s strongest. A stunning constituent turns up — Harvey Dent. The 2 have a hushed argument whereby Lincoln reveals that he is aware of Harvey slept with Rebecca and Harvey reveals that he is aware of Lincoln was concerned with killing Bruce. Sadly, Lincoln has had Harvey fired as D.A., making his efforts to unravel Bruce’s homicide that a lot tougher. As their bickering escalates, Cullen — disguised as everybody’s favourite GCPD rookie — steps between them and tells Lincoln he’ll deal with Harvey.
Cullen and Harvey speak on the way in which out. The interplay was a ruse so Cullen might get shut sufficient to swipe Lincoln’s pockets, containing the important thing card to his condo.
Flooring Nu
Stephanie and Harper staff up, with Lincoln’s keycard in hand, to infiltrate March Tower. Cullen will get into the safety cameras and disables the safety sensors. As quickly as they get inside, Stephanie heads to the outlet the place Brody stashed the products. The digicam and the cardboard are nonetheless there. Which is nice, however confirms that Brody didn’t ship the textual content saying they had been destroyed, and he’s seemingly in bother.
Harper and Stephanie are interrupted by a safety alert. Earlier than they’ve time to behave, two safety guards burst in. The women handle to seize their weapons and take them out (Stephanie’s been practising).
GCPD encompass the constructing; Harper and Stephanie want one other method out. Determined, they fight the oddly-named flooring “N” within the elevator. It seems to be a hidden flooring 13 Alan Wayne constructed.
The sign between the Knights dies, inflicting Harper to mutter that her and timing aren’t besties. Stephanie calls her out, and Harper confesses that she’s uncertain if Stephanie actually wished to kiss her after standing as much as her mother and father or if she’s simply the final particular person Stephanie’s mother and father would have wished her to be with. Stephanie instantly reassures her. An try and rectify the state of affairs by kissing her once more goes awry when Harper notices a casket over Stephanie’s shoulder.
The 2 method cautiously, leaping in horror when there’s a sudden banging noise. From throughout the casket comes Brody’s voice, yelling for assist. They rapidly bust him out, however earlier than he can clarify something, the elevator begins to maneuver. Brody tells them to run and conceal.
The Owls Are within the Home
Minimize off from Harper and Stephanie, Turner and Cullen focus on how seemingly it’s that every one of Alan Wayne’s buildings had a secret thirteenth flooring — which might imply Wayne Tower had one too.
Harvey is in his workplace, cracking open a bottle he’d been gifted by Bruce, when he will get the decision from Turner. Turner relays their suspicions a couple of secret flooring in Wayne Tower, and the way Lincoln might need identified about it and instructed his Talon to make use of it to enter undetected.
Harvey agrees to go try Wayne Tower.

Again on the Belfry, the Knights get extra of an evidence. Brody’s mother put Electrum in his tooth, stabbed him, then locked him in a coffin.
Harper efficiently retrieves the video. It’s intact, and proves the Courts crimes, however they’re masked the entire time. So, it doesn’t present who anybody is. Fortunately, throughout Brody’s stint within the casket, he heard the Owls speaking, and he is aware of there’s going to be a celebration that evening, and the place it’s being held.
The staff rapidly name Carrie to loop her in, however she’s stopped by her mother on the way in which out. They argue as she tries to cease Carrie from leaving, reminding her that nobody is bulletproof. Carrie argues again that the great guys aren’t those she needs to be preventing. Regardless of her mother yelling after her, Carrie heads out to assist the remainder of the Gotham Knights.

Throughout city, Rebecca is perfecting her social gathering desk when one of many masked Courtroom goons brings her a recording of Stephanie and Harper breaking into March Tower. She dismisses him, saying she’ll cope with it.
As soon as the Courtroom has assembled, Lincoln alerts for consideration. Rebecca steps out of the shadows and removes her masks. She makes a speech celebrating Lincoln’s election and their discovery of extra Electrum.
Whereas Rebecca recites the Courtroom of Owls rhyme, we see Harvey making his option to Wayne Tower’s thirteenth flooring. He finds Alan Wayne’s secret workplace stuffed with notes, newspaper clippings, and extra. Lastly, he picks up an outdated portrait of a really acquainted lady. “Physician Leviticus,” he reads. “Rebecca.”
Coming to the tip of her rhyme, Rebecca responds to one of many Courtroom saying that they now not have a Talon by bringing out a shock — a number of resurrected Talons. Rebecca proposes a toast.
Lincoln is displeased that she didn’t inform him she was bringing the Talons again. In a aspect room, she tells him concerning the break-in.

He tells Duela about her mother drugging him, and she or he realizes that delivering Turner was the job that fell by. Though she’s clearly upset, Duela grabs the watches and leaves.
The Knights get into the social gathering with relative ease. Harper even stops to kiss Stephanie on the way in which, as they received interrupted earlier. However their good luck is brief lived as they enter the corridor the place the social gathering is going down.
The attractive dinner desk that Rebecca laid is roofed in blood and surrounded by lifeless Owls, their throats slit by Talons. Brody discovers his father on the head of the desk, as unmoving as the remaining.
Whereas the staff attempt to work out what occurred, GCPD swarm the constructing. The Knights have been arrange. Once more.
