In another Gotham love story a jealous and protective water-melon soaked Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) continues to vie for the affections of Kristin Kringle (Chelsea Spack) and disapprove of her new boyfriend Tom (Zachary Spicer). Bruce (David Mazouz) and Selina (Camren Bicondova) work together to find the next piece in the puzzle of their investigation into Wayne Enterprises by attending the Wayne Enterprises Charity Ball and picking the pockets of Sid Bunderslaw (Michael Potts). Meanwhile Sal Maroni (David Zayas) reveals Oswald’s (Robin Lord Taylor) big secret to Gertrude Kapelput (Carol Kane) with disastrous consequences for a local delivery boy.
