Pennyworth Episode 5 Synopsis

Episode Written by: Bruno Heller

Episode Directed by: Rob Bailey

On a London street, Lord Harwood’s fate takes a curious turn as he is rescued by Bet and Peggy Sykes and begins his rehabilitation back at the Spicer’s semi-detached.

Months later, the streets of England are in turmoil as the gang war rages between the Ravens Society and the No-Name League. As the opposing factions look set to meet and hammer out a truce, a new assignment is on the cards for Martha Kane and Alfred Pennyworth.

But Alfred, still in turmoil following Esme’s funeral, turns the work down. Thomas Wayne is forced to look elsewhere, turning to Davy Boy to help murder Frances Gaunt the leader of the Raven Society.

Still wallowing in guilt and grief at his parents house, Alfred appears rudderless until John Ripper presents Alfred with an offer of another job that if completed will help to expose the murderer of Esme.

At a fine restaurant Frances Gaunt meets the leaders of the No-Name league Julian and Undine Thwaite. Midway through starters Davy Boy attempts his assassination but is shot by his intended target. Bleeding out on the floor another assassin comes for Frances Gaunt. As Alfred unmasks himself he rescues Davy-Boy before killing his target Julian Thwaite.

The next morning the world has turned, Frances is still alive, Undine Thwaite wakes up next to John Ripper having betrayed her husband, and Alfred has had more than a pint at the Severed Arms pub.
