OPINION
In this episode we can see how the relationship between Alfred and Bruce gets stronger little by little. We see another case that helps to introduce James to the corruption of Gotham. Oswald is shown doing his misdeeds, becoming the «Penguin».
If they are gonna present a different story each chapter, I’m gonna be disapointed, it would be better if all the stories of each episode were gonna mix and, well, giving us an end for the series with all the villains complete, like, waiting for Batman. I mean, like if all the little stories were at the end a BIG complete story. But all we need is to wait for the new episode each week, see what they will surprise us with.
