Written by Megan Mostyn-Brown
Directed by Louis Shaw Milito
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on Fox
This week’s episode of Gotham stops the momentum of the season pretty much dead in its tracks, as Galavan’s incarceration puts him out of play for the time being. Instead, this installment offers a fairly inconsequential chapter that allows Gordon to be diverted by Barbara’s number one fan Tabitha, who has decided to place a hit on Gordon’s head.
The season of Gotham has shown brief flashes of Tabitha’s character, presenting her as a psychopath who might have feelings for Barbara –although it’s hard to tell how deep Tabitha’s feelings for her are, as she tends to flirt with just about anyone (Barbara, Butch, even Galavan). Tabitha’s feelings for Barbara have been so subtle and uninteresting that it...
