Non Spoiler Review- A very satisfying mid-season finale that manages to resolve the overlying story arc this season while teasing new threats for the second half of the season. This episode had some great action and interesting character arcs and I can't wait for the series to return.
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1. Mr. Freeze- The very end of the episode features Victor Fries freezing someone for unknown reasons and we see a shot of the show's version of Mr. Freeze. I'm very excited to see him as a villain for the show because Mr. Freeze is one of my favorite Batman villains so I can't wait to see 'Gotham's adaptation of the character.
2. Indian Hill- This facility was teased in an earlier episode and we get to see a bit more as Galavan's body is brought in to the facility. I think I could have possibly seen what appeared to be Fish Mooney in the facility. Maybe they're experimenting on her dead body as well for some reason. This scene also name drops Hugo Strange who is probably going to be the big villain for the rest of the season.
3. Full circle- This scene really mirrored the beginning of the series in my eyes where Jim and Harvey were supposed to kill Penguin and here we see Jim and Penguin take Galavan to the docks. Penguin beats Galavan ferociously and Gordon stops him, to shoot Galavan. Penguin then does something with his umbrella which is revealed when Galavan's body is brought to Indian Hill.
4. Team-Up- It was pretty cool to see all these characters work together to stop Galavan and the Order of St. Dumas. It was very interesting to see Penguin working with Jim since the two have had a troubled friendship. I hope to see what the outcome of this is especially on Jim since he may be in trouble for what he's done.
5. Lee is pregnant- A huge drop is when Lee Thompkins tells Jim that she's pregnant and Penguin's reactions to their conversation were hilarious, especially when they refer to him. I'm curious to see if she's telling the truth and see if maybe this child will be Barbara Gordon (who becomes Batgirl).
