Gold Summit

The Penguin now operates from the underground and his mushroom business flourishes. But Sofia is hunting him. Victor gets confronted with someone from his past, who wants to use him to get into Oz's business. By shooting him, Vic completes his journey to the dark side. A genius as Oz is he invites all the minor gang leaders and gives them beer! He unites them against the Maronis and Falcones. Ergo bibamus - so let us drink!

But this wouldn't be the Penguin if it wasn't for Sofia to find out about Oz's hideout. She breaks into it and sees Vic dancing with The Penguin's mother. Oh boy, how shall I wait a whole week, not knowing if they survive?

The Penguin is just the best show of the year. It captivates its audience for weeks and doesn't lose one bit of its quality. The finale will be exceptional!

It's a mix of mixbats follow the true meaning of DC with Victor become you know who and the physiatrist become scarecrow scene by scene. Besides being a mix of the greatest shows on earth sopranos broadwalk and the wire with a touch of DC. This is the greatest show ever. All we need is Nolan to come back and bring the gang together. Sorry show runners but right now in this world we need the guy with the cigar in a parade. Saying that this is as good as TV gets just waiting for Oz to eat some Lobsters vs fish. Can you imagine that a guy like him eating Lobster in the subway waiting for winter coming. #GOT.

HOW CAN IT END THERE !!

Oz and Vic are in the mists of growing the Bliss business around the city. I'm guessing a decent amount of time passed since last week as a lot of the product has grown. Vic is getting some hassle from squid and must create a solution to the problem. Oz is planning on rallying the troops around Gotham to deal with and push back from Sofia and Sal. Oz's mom isn't adjusting as well as he hopped as they are left without power. Meanwhile Sofia and Sal are on a mission to find what Oz holds close and destroy it.

Another very solid episode. Definitely a bit of a slower pace in which I feel the next two episodes are going to be mental. There are yet again even in a "build" episode a lot that happens. You have Vic seriously leaning into this new life, Oz scrambling to grow the business, Sofia seems more cool and collected on the hunt for Oz while Sal is foaming at the mouth wanting revenge.

Oz and his mom is a brilliant segment in the show, it is the only shred of loyalty the man has and the only small thing left as a viewer I can see still liking Oz for one good quality.

I can't wait for next week, even in the small moments of niceness and purity we get, I never feel safe as the viewer, I was right, 8/10.

This time, the story got real deep between Victor and Oz, and I gotta say, I was feelin' it. The way they built that back-and-forth had me hooked-it showed us who they really are and what they're goin' through. The end, though? Man, that threw us all for a loop. But look, I don't see Victor dyin' just yet. I bet Sofia's gonna come for Oz's mom, just like he went after her brother. I'm tellin' you, takin' Victor out now would make all that character build-up feel like a waste. But hey, that's just how I see it-you might see it different. Well just have to see when the next episode comes out. Let's get it.

I've enjoyed every episode so far but I though the one before this was the weakest because of its wobbly logic, and the one before that was excellent but unnecessary. This episode gets everything back on track with gritty plausibilty and forward momentum building toward the finale. It should go without saying by this point that the acting from Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti and Deirdre O'Connell is excellent. Rhenzy Feliz gets another pivotal moment to show off his chops and he again rises to the occasion. I think this is Lauren LeFranc's best writing of the series: virtually every scene is tense, grounded, believable and true to the characters as they've been established in prior episodes.
