Warning: Fullfor the episode follow...

Hey, I enjoyed this one. For the most part. Yeah, it played up some beats and angles that we've already been through on the show before with regards to Gordon becoming a bit shadier and Harvey trying to atone, but it seemed to pull together a lot of characters (including the returning Harvey Dent) in an effective way.Yes, Gordon and Dent went after Commissioner Loeb this week in "Everyone Has a Cobblepot," but their eventual dead end meant they had to turn to both Bullock (who turned up as a surprise false witness in the Flass case) and Penguin for help.The early episode reveal that Bullock was the guy Loeb pressured into helping set Flass free was a nice little twist, and it gave Bullock his best storyline since Gotham returned for its midseason run. Even though him trying to absolve himself of guilt was kind of a road he and Gordon have traveled down before. It even had the two of them talking about how going against Falcone would be a suicide mission - under a bridge to boot (though this time they weren't packing machine guns and headed out to meet the man face to face).But I liked the way the Loeb story turned out. The whole hidden daughter scenario (a cracked woman named Miriam who made jewelry out of bird bones and was being watched over by a former Arkham nurse) felt like the kind of creepy that works for the Batman universe. It actually came off as more unsettling than anything Arkham itself has delivered on so far. It all unfolded in a nice way too where, at first, we were to believe there were secret files. And then that Loeb may have killed his own wife. And then that he was merely covering for his crazy daughter.

Penguin was a fun tagalong on this adventure too (though I don't know what's happening to his hair, which has slowly gone from emo flop to literal mop head - complete with part of the handle). We're back into "owing favors" territory again, but Bullock, as a man who'd just been handed his own sordid past in a file, had some wise words for Gordon at the end of the episode. After Gordon had used his leverage on Loeb to get himself an endorsement for union president. It all worked - though I'm still keenly aware that Gordon's been at this crossroads already back when he found himself feeling like a monster at the end of "Welcome Back, Jim Gordon."Plus, Penguin had that "tryouts" scene at the end of the episode when Marge killed her husband over a sole "trip to Arizona." Only for her to then learn that Penguin didn't even have a travel agent - only a shotgun. A cool moment that, for me, marked a return of the guy who Penguin was originally portrayed as. Not the nightclub-owning bumbler of recent weeks.There were a few scenes with Bruce and Alfred (Bruce wants to find Reggie himself), and some with Ed and Kringle (he's mad she's got a new beau), but the other big story was Fish and Dr. Dolmacher (ugh, that name). So it turns out that Jada didn't have to go more than five minutes with an eye patch because - BAM! - Fish got a new blue eye. What a weird operation Dolmacher's running. Why give her a new eye? And why keep his prisoners, whose parts he supposedly needs in pristine condition, down in muck and squalor? Granted, he also doesn't seem very smart.I mean, I don't know for sure, but he mostly just gives off the vibe of someone who can be easily out-witted. Play-torturing his former manager (hacking him up and giving him a woman's forearm, saying "Amusing, no?"), and determining that Tuesday nights be Salsa Tuesday nights (ah ha - the real reason The Walking Dead's Hershel changed it to Spaghetti Wednesday!). Dolmacher's main strengths seem to be his guards and the isolated island setting.As far as Fish goes though, this was a much better story for her. Her new eye pretty much instantly erased that ridiculous spoon gouge moment from last week, allowing her to get into something more sinister. Namely, betraying her own former sooty cell mates and taking a new role alongside Dolmacher. I still don't feel like I need to see Fish's entire journey back to Gotham, but her being a treacherous wench makes for a more suitable scenario.
