What’s it called?
“This Ball of Mud and Meanness.”
Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to Jordan Harper (“The Mentalist”).
What says Fox?
“Alfred (Sean Pertwee) and Selina (Camren Bicondova) help Bruce (David Mazouz) on his quest to find his parents’ killer, Matches Malone (guest star Michael Bowen). Meanwhile, Gordon (Ben McKenzie) follows up with Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) on Kristen Kringle’s whereabouts and Hugo Strange (guest star BD Wong) continues to treat Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor).”
How does it start?
With a surprise guest star!
Lucius Fox finally fixed Thomas Wayne’s computer two episodes ago. Does Alfred destroy it again, cementing his status as Worst Servant Ever?
Not this week.
What precipitates Gordon’s inquiry into Kringle’s whereabouts?
It turns out she never collected her last couple of paychecks (or left a forwarding address).
Does Strange put Fries to work this week?
No Fries this week.
What’s doing with Butch?
For the second time this year, Drew Powell is in the opening credits but his character is not in the episode.
Any sign of Fish Mooney or Penguin’s dad?
None this week.
Any sign of Harvey Dent, Crispis Allen, Renee Montoya or Ivy Pepper this week?
No.
The big news?
Bruce makes some changes.
What else is Fox not telling us?
We learn very early on Hugo Strange is experimenting with “the Crane formula.” Also, remember those mutants from “The Dark Knight Returns”?
What’s good?
Lori Petty, unrecognizable as the Jokeresque Gerry. Cupcake. Matches. Ed. “What flavor is it?” “Burn just one guy to death?” “Could ya? I got nowhere else to be.”
What’s not so good?
Not so much Morena Baccarin this week.
How does it end, spoiler boy?
Nygma draws a green question-mark.
8 p.m. Monday. Fox.
