Spoilers Ahead!
Gotham never failed to impress me in this episode that features some more twists and turns.
Jim Gordon gets shot while trying to establish a ceasefire with all the gangs in Gotham. He then hallucinates where he is on trial. What I loved most about the trial, besides Ben Mckenzie's incredible performance, was the fact that it was about Jim's greatest fear.
Meanwhile, Barbara is getting impatient with Penguin and Riddler's lack of progress on the building of the submarine. Barbara, in an effort to show Jim that she has changed, manages to get the gangs, due to threatening them, to lay down their arms. Robin Lord Taylor's one liners were hillarious, and Erin Richards gave a great performance as well.
Bruce and Selina, though she wasn't expecting it, went on a date. When Bruce tells Selina that he is considering leaving Gotham due to him felling that it is his fault that all the villains have arrived, and that the fact that he wants to keep her safe, she immediately tries to talk him out of it. Their date is cut short by the arrival of Ivy Pepper and the Mutant Leader. Ivy then brainwashes Bruce to follow her commands, while Selina is forced to defend herself.
The Mutant Leader coming back was a great twist. I also love the rivalry between Ivy and Selina, as Ivy is jealous that Bruce has always loved Selina more then her. Peyton List did a great job as Ivy as well.
Harvey Bullock manages to find out that Victor Zsaaz was the one who shot Gordon, and with the help of Alfred, they manage to catch him. They then realize that he has been brainwashed by Ivy. Anthony Carrigan did another great job as Zsaaz.
Ivy, who's plan it to make Gotham a place for plants, trues to finish off Gordon herself, but Lee manages to hold her off. Lee then performans CPR, as his heart rate went down to zero, on Gordon and manages to wake him up. Morena Baccarin and Ben Mckenzie's chemistry was outstanding in this scene.
Bruce then goes to a power plant, to poison the water supply in Gotham, and brainwashes Fox due to some spray that Ivy gave him. Selina then shows up and fights Bruce. She is then forced to fight the man she loves, and manages to knock him back to his senses, though she felt guilty after it, but Bruce assures her she did the right thing. She then hillariously knocks Lucis back to his senses and they manage to stop the water from being poisoned.
One month later, Jim and Lee finally get married in a ceremony performed by Harvey Bullock, the dialogue by Harvey was well written and funny.
Bruce, deciding not to leave Gotham, lets Selina nows he plans on staying by kissing her. David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova's chemistry in this episode was awesome, they play their roles so convincingly.
Overall, tonight's episode of Gotham delivered on its well written story lines, well written humor, great dialogue, strong chemistry between David Mazouz and Camren Bicondova, and Morena Baccarin and Ben Mckenzie, and strong performances from Robin Lord Taylor, Erin Richards, Donal Logue, and Anothony Carrigan, to keep its hot streak going.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
