Nygma takes Mayor Aubrey James hostage, televising a threat to end his life if he does not learn the identity of the Court. Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) arranges a meeting with Nygma at GCPD Headquarters, and convinces Nygma to have him escorted to the Court himself; in exchange, Gordon takes the place of the deceased Frank Gordon in the Court. Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) and Ivy Pepper (Maggie Geha) recruit Victor Fries (Nathan Darrow) and Bridget Pike (Camila Perez) for the army that he plans to use against Nygma. 514A (David Mazouz) struggles to gain the trust of Alfred Pennyworth (Sean Pertwee), and attempts to kill Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova) by pushing her out of a window to cover up his true nature as a clone.
