Gotham 4.12 FAQ
What’s it called?
“Pieces of a Broken Mirror.”
Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to Danny Cannon (“CSI”), who’s also hard at work on the new pre-Superman “Metropolis” series set to hit the new DC Comics streaming service next year.
What says Fox?
“Gordon is called to the scene after The Toy Maker is hired to assassinate one of Gotham's doctors. Lee Thompkins begins to try to rebuild the Narrows, with Nygma as her partner. Meanwhile, Alfred's new life in the Narrows becomes complicated and Ivy reveals her new persona to Selina.”
How does it start?
“How can I help you, Captain Gordon?” Gordon visits a whorehouse in his quest to find Harvey Bullock, but finds a freshly-fired Alfred Pennyworth instead.
When we last saw Grundy, he just got Butch’s memories back. Is Grundy not in this episode?
Grundy back this week! But him not tell Ed he’s Butch Gilzean again!
