Plot
Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor) and Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) confront each other in their cells, with Nygma believing Cobblepot to be just a ghost or a hallucination. Meanwhile, Selina (Camren Bicondova) attacks Five (David Mazouz) on Wayne Manor until Alfred (Sean Pertwee) separates them. After the revelation Five is not the real Bruce, Five knocks Alfred and Selina unconscious. The Shaman (Raymond J. Barry) and Bruce arrive at Gotham.
Lee (Morena Baccarin) has a dream where Mario (James Carpinello) puts his contaminated blood on her glass. In the GCPD, Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Bullock (Donal Logue) find new evidence that Kathryn (Leslie Hendrix) possesses multiple properties around Gotham and the duo set off to find one of the properties to find the bomb. On the property, they find a crystal owl and using their lights, they discover a map of Gotham City. A grenade is thrown and Barnes (Michael Chiklis) arrives in a suit, taking Gordon with him. Alfred decides to go look for Bruce but as Selina refuses, he tells her to leave and never come back, comparing her to her mother.
The Shaman takes Bruce to another trip in which he tells him to lock away his mother's jewels in order to take away the pain. The Shaman then shows Bruce one of his memories where the Shaman discovered the Waynes' murderer and killed the person who ordered the hit. Gordon is taken to a property where he is confronted by Kathryn and then left with Barnes, who is treating Gordon on a trial acting as his "judge, jury and executioner". Just before his attempted killing by Barnes, he is rescued by the GCPD while Barnes escapes. Lee visits Tetch (Benedict Samuel) in Arkham and finds that he gave the virus to Mario so she could hate Gordon in order to destroy him and replies that the person to blame is Lee herself.
Cobblepot and Nygma put their differences aside in order to escape from their cells. They manage to escape and give each other an advantage of six hours before killing each other. Bullock has Kathryn arrested and taken to the GCPD. When Alfred discovers this, he enters the interrogation room and stabs Kathryn to force her into revealing Bruce's location. Barnes arrives, knocking everyone in the building out with a grenade. Kathryn tries to reason with Barnes, who responds by killing her. Gordon manages to get a shotgun and shoots at Barnes' axe-tipped glove, cutting his hand and then knocking him down. Bruce completes the transition, feeling nothing about his parents' death, and now under the Shaman's mental control. Bullock has the owl statue fixed and displays the map but is notified that Barnes has escaped on its transference. They also find that the vial of blood with the virus has been taken. Gordon finally discovers who took it. The episode ends as Lee injects herself with the virus, showing her eyes and face getting infected.
