'Gotham' Season 2 Episode 6 'By Fire' Review

Non Spoiler Review- A very good episode of 'Gotham' that has some pivotal character moments that will definitely impact them further down the season. The story was very interesting in this episodes and I liked the character development accomplished this episode. Overall, a very strong episode of 'Gotham' and I look forward to the remainder of this season that seems to be improving each episode. 

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

1. Bridgit Pike survives and will be experimented on?- At the end of the episode it is presumed that Bridgit Pike accidentally kills herself when her suit leaks gasoline and she burns herself but at the very end of the episode it is revealed she is now fireproof as the flame proof suit melted to her skin and she has been taken to Indian Hill for experimentation. I'm very curious to  learn more about Indian Hill and what they are experimenting on and if that will result in the creation of various Batman villains. 
2. Penguin is going after his mother- Penguin's plot to have Butch infiltrate Theo's group and find his mother. Butch comes back saying that Theo discovered he was a spy but he escaped and found out the location of Penguin's mother. I'm unsure if this is true or not because it could be a set up and Butch may no longer be brainwashed. I'm curious to learn if Butch is telling the truth or if he's tricking Penguin and luring him into a trap. I like that Penguin is gearing up for a war with Galavan and I'm excited to see him fight back against Galavan. 
3. Is Butch been debrainwashed?- When they discover Butch is a spy Theo leaves Tabatha with him and it's very possible that she could have broken the brainwashing implemented by Penguin but I think we'll learn what happened to him in the next episode.
4. Selina loses trust in Jim- Jim came to see Selina to ask her to help him find Bridgit and she confided in him but he wasn't able to save her and they both believe she died so Selina said she will never trust a cop again which is a progression towards her further becoming Catwoman. 
5. Nygma kills Kristen- A big progression for Edward Nygma was a moment that will progress his evolution to becoming the Riddler when he kills Kristen. He tells her the truth that he killed her ex boyfriend and she freaks out as everything that she was concerned about Nygma was right and as she's leaving says he will go to prison, etc. Nygma seizes her and accidentally chokes her to death. This was  avery sad moment as he accidentally killed the person he cared most about. I'm curious to see how he will cover this up given the lengths he went to previously.
