Contents

In the episode, Jerome Valeska, Jervis Tetch, Jonathan Crane and 80 inmates escape from Arkham Asylum to wreak havoc on Gotham. Tetch orchestrates a gigantic hypnosis trick that could kill everyone while Gordon and Bullock try to stop him. Also, Jerome is looking for his abusive uncle to get information but is pursued by Bruce, who feels responsible for his actions. Meanwhile, Barbara learns more information regarding her resurrection.

Plot

Using hypnosis, Tetch (Benedict Samuel) manages to get a prison guard to escape, along with Jonathan Crane (David W. Thompson). They then orchestrate a break, freeing Jerome (Cameron Monaghan) as well as 84 inmates from Arkham Asylum.

When Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Bullock (Donal Logue) investigate the escape, they receive a call from Tetch, telling them to meet him at an address. There, Gordon and Bullock are subdued by hypnotized people while Tetch has a wrecking ball fall on a married couple, crushing them before escaping. Meanwhile, Barbara (Erin Richards) experiences a flashback to the time when Ra's al Ghul (Alexander Siddig) resurrected her, where he sees her as his true heir to the Demon's Head.

After retrieving Jerome's file with the help of Selina (Camren Bicondova), Bruce (David Mazouz) heads to Jerome's uncle diner. The uncle, Zachary Trumble (John Treacy Egan) has already been intercepted by Jerome, who reprimands him for his abuse. Zachary tricks Jerome and has one of his colleagues hold him while he pours hot soup over Jerome's face. Bruce interrupts and is attacked by the henchman while Jerome kills his uncle after learning the location of someone he is searching for. Selina arrives and tries to shoot Jerome but Bruce stops her as he feels responsible for Jerome, prompting Jerome to escape.

Soon, Gordon and Bullock find that the city is now filled with hypnotized people ready to jump off their balconies. They soon find that the people were hypnotized through a radio message. Bullock hears the station in order to find where the signal is coming from and is hypnotized himself. Gordon finally finds the station and stops Tetch from continuing the message. He uses a loophole and prompts the citizens to save each other, breaking the hypnosis. Tetch is arrested afterwards.

Members of the League of Shadows arrive at Sirens, looking for the new Demon's Head. Upon finding it's Barbara, they turn against her, as they refuse to be led by a woman. The female members kill the male members and accept Barbara as their new Demon's Head. While on route to Arkham, Tetch's truck is hijacked by Crane and Jerome, who drive to the location his uncle gave him.
