Undercover Episode 3
This episode dealt with the consequences of Michael’s death in the past and showed us Nick’s betrayals then – his tape recording discrediting the news story then, his reporting of Abigail got her kicked off the force and left to her addiction then - and now, his betrayal of her was futile in terms of keeping his lie safe and his old colleagues off his back – it was always going to be! They’d just turned up after 20 years of radio silence. By giving her name out, he’d got her killed and stymied Maya’s case.
Bringing the whole might of the CPS to bear on one case? That’s going supernova big, but it’s not good DPPing.
It made sense that Maya chose the living, not the dead. Nice bit of misogyny while arguing over the application of the death penalty, opposition lawyer.
Of course Maya’s BFF had to be a reporter and be the one to see and misconstrue Nick’s encounter with Abigail. The misunderstanding over what happened in Oxford felt like a bit of a cheap device, but Maya fitting again from the stress was better, because the family clearly didn’t know about Maya’s seizures. Well, Nick seemed surprised, and if she’d clocked what had happened off the road in Louisiana, she must have thought it was a one off.
A quieter episode, but with punchy moments.
I have learned that Angel Coulby is older than I thought.
Gotham 2.13 – A Dead Man Feels No Cold
Mazouz MADE that scene or session between Bruce and Lee.
Harvey was the voice of reason – that sending a dying woman you’ve got nicked for being Mr Freeze’s accessory to ARKHAM as a trap might be a bad idea. At least Jim admitted it was the best of a bunch of bad ideas to a very unimpressed Lee. But, really, her insisting on going too?
Strange and Peabody are promisingly villainous. I like their barely suppressed glee at putting Penguin in the Gotham version of the Aurora chair. Should I know who the person with four fingers was?
Lee got her comeuppance by having to be in the same room as Barbara. Poor Barbara, has she found new controllers? And Jim let Strange know about his complicity in Gallvan’s ‘death’ because he called Penguin to him just to be cruel.
Yeeeees, I’m sure Bruce means to let you kill his father’s killer for him, Alfred. Channelling his rage seems to be working well. Not.
Bond duly established between Lee and Nora and how they love their men, and I didn’t love that dull picture of the girlfriend/wife as her man’s moral custodian.
So Selina no longer has an automatic drop on Bruce, who admitted that he wasn’t going to let Alfred in on his kill. Obviously, he wasn’t going to listen to her on the point, even though he saw her kill someone. The scene ended on a great use of the actor’s growth spurt.
While I kept thinking that no matter how tragic, Victor’s killings were now in double figures and he wasn’t insane SO HE SHOULD GO TO JAIL, it was a relief that Nora made her own choice about what would happen to her.
Lee was just left being snippy because Jim is lying to her. There were heavy hints that she’s carrying a girl. I’ve always found it difficult to see how they could reach the point of Lee agreeing to calling her Barbara when Lee has good reason to hate the name. But if it wants to go there, I’m sure this show will find a way.
The ‘reveal’ that Strange was keeping all those bodies in suspended animation really wasn’t worthy of being a final scene as that’s what we, well I’ve assumed he’s been doing all along.
So, I wasn’t that interested in the A-plot, Mr Freeze is on the ‘meh’ point of the villains scale. It’s Strange and Peabody who intrigue me and what the result of the torture of Penguin will be. Though Harvey still entertains. The unrelated B-plot about Bruce’s development was far more interesting. I will try to catch up with the next episode sooner rather than later.
