Gotham-"The Balloonman" 107

SK (Cat) and James discussing the Wayne's murder case


                          Once again I missed the first four minutes due to my TV connection. So I opened up to Lt.Cranston being a jerk to James our favorite cop. Turns out Selina (Cat) gets to stay for a bit. She tells Gordon about her proof in witnessing the Wayne's murder. Lucky for James the evidence that Cat was a witness is in a sewer fin. He does find the proof that places her there but still have to find guy. Selina ends up getting out of the cuffs. Fish speaks with the MCU unit and they inquire about her knowing Oswald, she tells them that Gordon did it due to Falcone blackmailing him. Rumor has it Falcone beat Fish's "boy toy". Oswald gets found by a mysterious guy and ends up killing him then steals his money. And of all things goes and buys  a sandwich! Definitely not creepy at all.  

                            Back at Wayne Manor, Alfred is fencing with a reluctant Bruce. After a session Alfred finds the Wayne's police report that Bruce took. While back at the station Gordon gets a visit from the MCU unit about Oswald. He denies shooting him (because we know he didn't!). Then we see Oswald trying to get a job but gets denied due to his lack of experience. Gordon tells Harvey about his fun MCU visit. Oswald finds his way to get a job (Hint-he took out a employee). Lt.Cranston gets pulled up by balloon while being a bad cop. Balloon man killed the dirty cop-Lt.Cranston which comes out in the press. Barbara is worried about Gordon's safety again. He reassures her but says "Everyone has to matter, nobody matters.".

                             Gotham Police finds that the next target of the balloon man is possibly in public. Harvey remarks "You kill a cop, it's a job safety issue" so he goes looking for this balloon guy in "all different ways". Oswald gets the job but has expectations and is told that his job is a great opportunity. He agrees when an old friend shows up. Harvey gets a lead to an apartment and ends up arresting a suspect. Fish's boy toy feels bad and Fish tells him it was her fault. Renee (MCU chic) visits Barbara and notices she got high like in the old days. She needs truth about Gordon possibly killing Oswald. We find out they used to be together. Renee tells her that she deserves better and tells her to ask him where he was the night Oswald disappeared.

                              The cops find a suspect. They realize that the balloons rise up then pop so they come back.  Literally moments later a balloon falls. Gordon knows who the balloon man is. Oswald aka "Palo" who is a momma's boy sees an old "friend" and talks to him happily. We see another balloon fall this time with a priest,. Armond is Gordon's suspect who is actually "good guy" but corrupt.  Armond points his gun at Harvey. He just wants to make a difference but is pissed off and there are consequences. Minutes later Armond gets pulled by his own balloon. James being the hero he is pulls on. Harvey shoots balloon and once again saves James's life.   Armond gets put in an ambulance. Later that night, we see Bruce watching the news from earlier. Gordon comes home, Barbara is glad he's okay. Gordon says "The city is sick, everybody in power lets this city down.".  She believes in him. It;s a nice moment until Oswald shows up at his doorstep. Then we are cliffhangered!  

    Next Monday Oswald wants to help Gordon and Bruce begins to believe Gotham is being taken by criminals.
