Time to go back to Arkham as we discuss The Penguin Episode 4 "Cent'Anni". We chat all about this Sofia Falcone centered episode in spoiler filled detail.

Episode Written by: John McCutcheon

Episode Directed By: Helen Shaver

Under the gunpoint of Nadia Maroni and her men, Oz Cobb pleads for his life, explaining that he was only working with Sofia Falcone to get access to her drug business. But Nadia doesn’t believe him and reveals to Sofia that Oz is the murderer of her brother Alberto. As Victor arrives and saves Oz, Sofia calls Dr Julian Rush to help her.

Sofia recalls the events that led to her time in Arkham State Hospital. Ten years ago after being approached by Summer Gleeson from the Gotham Gazette, Sofia realised her father, Carmine Falcone, could be behind her mothers death and six other women connected to his business. But Sofia tells the reporter she’s investigating the wrong man and leaves the meeting.

When Oz Cobb, her driver at the time, reports the meeting to Carmine, Sofia is brought before the family leader. She tries to have a conversation with her father so he can clear her mind of suspicion but Carmine sends her home with Oz.

But on the way home, the GCPD arrest Sofia for the murder of the Gotham Gazette reporter and all the other women. Due to written letters from her father and most of her leading family members, Sofia is committed to Arkham State Hospital for a six month evaluation ahead of her trial.

Under the watchful eye of Dr Ventris and his assistant Dr. Julian Rush a brutal incarceration follows with Sofia being subjected to a violent beating by another inmate and results in her receiving daily electroshock therapy.

After the six months her brother Alberto tells Sofia that Dr. Ventris has deemed her unfit for trial and she is to remain in Arkham State Hospital. In the present day, now free, Sofia discusses her predicament with Dr Rush, who convinces her she needs a break.

She returns to the Falcone family home and surrounded by all the heads of the family she calls them out for their part in her incarceration. She announces her plans to start a new life as she doesn’t fit into the family anymore.

Late that night, Sofia enacts her plan, using gas to suffocate all the members of her family apart from her most hated rival Johnny Viti. She holds him at gunpoint while they discuss Sofia’s next steps.

Episode Written by J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay

Episode Directed by Charlotte Branstrom

Episode 8 Synopsis

Prince Durin confronts his father, the King, as the King goes against all the advice of his son and Narvi his advisor, and opens a large mithril deposit under Khazad-dûm. The Balrog that lives below the mithril mine, awoken by this activity, attacks King Durin III and in the ensuing fight the King is lost as the entrance to the cavern collapses. In the aftermath, Prince Durin assumes his place as the next in line to the throne.

Meanwhile, in Rhun, the Stranger goes to the Stoors' canyon to help Nori Brandyfoot and Poppy Proudfellow. He rejects the Dark Wizard's offer to supplant Sauron and the Dark Wizard destroys the canyon. The Stoors, who refer to the Stranger as "Grand Elf", are forced to find a new home and are joined by Nori and Poppy. The Stranger takes a branch from a tree in the canyon as his staff. Returning to Tom Bombadil, the Stranger says he will come to be known as "Gandalf".

In Numenor, Ar-Pharazôn learns from the palantír that Halbrand was actually Sauron in disguise and accuses Míriel of aligning herself with Sauron, discrediting the results of her trial by the Valar. Hungry for power, Ar-Pharazon has all members of the Faithful accused of treason and arrested. Despite following Ar-Pharazôn to this point, Eärien warns Elendil and he avoids capture. He attempts to escape with Míriel but she refuses to join him, giving him the sword Narsil and sending him to reclaim his lordship in the west of Númenor.

On Middle Earth, Kemen claims Pelargir as a military outpost for Númenor on behalf of his father and demands the Southlanders and Wild Men cut down the forest in exchange for shelter and supplies. Isildur and Estrid acknowledge their feelings for one another and he asks her to return to Númenor with him, but Kemen does not allow this and Isildur leaves Estrid with Hagen.

In Eregion, Sauron tortures and kills Celebrimbor. He is approached by Glûg, an Orc who has grown disillusioned with Adar's leadership. Galadriel finds Adar in his original Elf-form, as revealed by Nenya, and he returns the ring to her before he is killed by Glûg and other Orcs that have pledged themselves to Sauron.

Sauron attacks Galadriel and takes the nine rings for Men, but she jumps off a cliff before he can take Nenya. Durin IV sends his army to aid the Elves, allowing Elrond, Gil-galad, Arondir, and other survivors to escape to a valley north of the city. Elrond and Gil-galad use the Elven rings to heal Galadriel, and the Elves resolve to stand against Sauron's army as it marches across Middle-earth.

Join us fellow Gothamites for our podcast all about The Penguin Episode 3 "Bliss". More focused this time on Victor but still some brilliant moments between Oz and Sofia and we chat about it all in spoiler filled detail.

Episode Written by: Noelle Valdivia

Episode Directed By: Craig Zobel

Before the Riddler’s explosions, Victor was hanging out with his friends and girlfriend, Graciela, on a rooftop in Crown Point, dreaming about their future. Unbeknownst to them, everything was about to change as the election night fireworks turned to explosions flooding Crown Point, killing their families and destroying their homes. Now, Victor and Gracelia discuss getting out of Gotham and starting a new life together, but only if Oz Cobb will let Victor leave.

Meanwhile, Sofia Falcone’s business opportunity comes through, and she takes Oz to the production warehouse for the new drug “Bliss”, a sap from a mushroom prescribed to Sofia when she was locked up in Arkham. Oz sets up a meeting with the Triads to help distribute the sample batch of the new drug, but they have to blackmail the cheating underboss of the Falcone Family, Johnny Vitti, to support their new business. Vitti tries to undermine Oz, telling Sofia he’s the one that sold her out and landed her in Arkham. But Oz pressures him further and they get their way.

With a nightclub trial arranged to showcase Bliss to the Triad leader Feng Zhao, Sofia has to reveal her traumatic past to him to seal the deal. She begins to get concerned that Oz believes he is an equal partner in her business and as he apologises for his part in Sofia’s 10 year incarceration in Arkham, Nadia Maroni and her men arrive, angry at Oz’s betrayal of the Maroni cartel and they hold the two at gunpoint.

Victor makes his decision to return to Oz’s side and arrives just in time to save his boss. As they speed away Oz tells Victor to leave Sofia behind. They are really in it now.

It's time to chat about the penultimate episode of The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 Episodes 7 "Doomed To Die". We discuss the episode in spoiler filled detail in this podcast.

Season 2 Episode 7 "Doomed To Die"

Episode Written by J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay and Justin Doble

Episode Directed by Charlotte Branstrom

Episode 7 Synopsis

In peaceful Eregion Celembrimbor happily toils away at the nine rings of power for mortal men. But he notices signs that he is trapped in an illusion. He confronts Annatar, who ends the illusion and reveals that Celebrimbor has made the nine rings using Sauron's blood rather than mithril.

Needing support to take on Adar’s army, Elrond comes to Khazad-dûm and asks Prince Durin to send aid to Eregion. Durin agrees and inspires the Dwarfs to rise up to stand side by side with the elves. But when his father King Durin attacks his own men, Prince Durin calls off his support of Eregion to defend Khazad Dûm.

Elrond, Gil-galad, and the Elves of Lindon arrive at Eregion to attack the Uruk army. But Adar reveals his prisoner, Galadriel, stopping them in their assault as they discuss terms but Adar only offers an ultimatum to Elrond. Galadriel will only be exchanged for her ring of power, Nenya. But Elrond refuses to give up the ring. He bids farewell to Galadriel, kissing her to cover up the lockpick he secretly passes to her.

That night, Galadriel escapes with the help of Arondir, who has arrived in Eregion after following the trails left by the Uruks. And they both sneak into the city of Eregion. Celebrimbor attempts to escape with the nine rings and finds Galadriel. Celebrimbor insists that Galadriel take the nine rings far away from Eregion while he stays to delay Sauron from getting his hands on them.

Meanwhile Adar sends wave after wave of Uruks to their death to break through the city walls of Eregion. Glûg, his closest supporter, pleads with him to call a retreat. But with a glimmer of victory in sight, Adar sends in Damrod the Hill Troll who sacrifices even more Uruks in his assault on Eregion’s wall. He is attacked by Elrond, Arondir and High King Gil Galad, who working together, fell the Troll just in time.

As the sun rises, a small number of Elves outside the city are faced with a new wave of Uruks led by Adar. Elrond and his small force held out all night but when Prince Durin does not arrive to support them, their group are overwhelmed. Arondir tries to attack Adar but he is cut down and left for dead.

Adar confronts the heartbroken Elrond and takes Nenya from him with ease as Celebrimbor is left to face Sauron alone.

Fellow Gothamites, join us for our podcast all about The Penguin Episode 2 "Inside Man". It's another great episode as Oz Cobb flips, twists and changes his plans to get closer to his goals, while Sofia Falcone investigates her brothers murder.

Episode Written by: Erika L. Johnson

Episode Directed By: Craig Zobel

With Oz’s murder of Alberto Falcone pinned on Sal Maroni, Oz plans to team up with him to take control away from the Falcones. He plans a simple job with Maroni to hijack a shipment of “drops” travelling from Gotham to Robbinstown.

But nothing is as simple as it seems and the job goes partially wrong revealing to Sofia Falcone that there’s an inside man in their organisation, but the Falcone leadership want Sofia to keep out of the family business. Meanwhile, to hide his inside involvement, Oz plans to pin it on Johnny Vitti but Sofia, ignoring Luca Falcone, goes off on her own.

She pays off a drug-addled detective Wise of the GCPD to find the leak and he kidnaps Ervad, one of Maroni’s men injured in the hijacking. He brings him, still unconscious after being shot during the heist, to the Falcone Mansion, where Sofia instructs her right hand man Castillo to put him in the basement and interrogate him as soon as he wakes up.

But Sal Maroni’s wife, Nadia, is angry with the kidnapping of Ervad and forces Oz to make it right. Oz continues to enact his new plan to implicate Vitti and tasks young Victor with planting Alberto’s jewels in his car while Oz coaches Ervad to tell the Falcones of Vitti’s involvement.

When Victor fails in his task, Oz changes up his plan and kills Ervad. He plants the murder weapon on Castillo who is instantly killed by Luca Falcone.

With the blame on her right hand man, Luca again tells Sofia she should stick out of the family business for a while and spend some time away in Italy. But Sofia is not about to let old men tell her what to do. She proposes a team up with Oz to complete Alberto’s plan and take back control of the Falcone family.
