S01.E05: More Money, More Problems

A plan to take down the Court of Owls leads Turner and the team to a notorious mobster family, the McKillens. Meanwhile, Harvey seeks help from a psychiatrist.

Ok, Mobster Guy, the bar couple are short some cash. How is burning down their bar going to help out your boss? Now they have no profits coming in. Not a deep thinker clearly.

I like Carrie's mom.

Rebecca shows up to talk to Harvey in what looks like a cocktail dress. In the morning. Gotham's rich people are weird.

I like Harper slumping down in her seat as she reveals she dated one of the mobsters. 

Chase? Chase Meridian? I last saw you in Batman Forever with Nicole Kidman's face. 

Harvey's dad had identity dysmorphia? Interesting. 

Burn Notice taught me cash is one of the hardest things to move purely because of how heavy it can be. They should each grab a couple bundles each and get out of there.

Of course Gotham Academy serves booze at their parents luncheon. 

Chase is level headed and plays well opposite Harvey. I hope she doesn't turn out to be in the Court.

It won't happen but I want Killer Croc to jump out of the river with the key and hand it back to Harvey.

Carrie really should be wearing her Robin mask.

Welp, the nice bar owners and anchorman have given them their name. 

So the Court is clearly controlling Harvey's alter and I'm looking forward to that backfiring on them.

That could be the mantra of the CW DC universe.

That was an enjoyable episode. However, once again I beg the writers please don’t go there with Duella and Turner. I beg knowing this is in vain as I already see people online shipping them. 

Besides the mask thing, Carrie needs to work on her time management or excuses so that she doesn’t have both the school and her mom wondering about her time.

It wouldn’t be Gotham if an public event didn’t have at least one thing about it being inappropriate.

Can understand Duella’s reaction. They couldn’t have came some of the money. They had to give it all away?

So does Harvey have an alter or is the court putting him like in a trance and using his father’s condition as a way to to cover what is really going on? If he doesn’t already could this end up causing him to have a split?

Granted, I'm not exactly an expert criminal myself but I always found it short-sighted whenever mobsters just flat-out burn down places that are short on protection payment because there is no way they are getting the money back that way.  Hell, they probably could have just taken some of the liquor itself and came out even.  I guess it could be an "installing fear" tactic for others but; at the risk of being morbid; that's why the always popular "break their kneecaps" approach tends to get the job done.  Again though, who am I question the judgement of Gotham's finest mafia?

Had a feeling all of those millions were going to be used as a distraction and that the Knights weren't going to keep it.  Felt like they probably could have kept some of it though, so I'm kind of with Duela on that aspect.

Cool seeing recognizable faces like Angela Davis and Sunny Mabrey pop up as Carrie and Stephanie's mothers.

Yeah, Conner and Duela will be happening at some point in the game.

The Harper/Cullen stuff was nice.

So, it looks like someone (Court of Owls?) are somehow controlling Harvey and making him black out and commit acts like murder and sleeping with the wives of his opponents?  Wondering if Rebecca herself will also be part of the Court.  Missed that his psychologist friend was Chase Meridian, so that's pretty cool.

I'd think what they would do is take ownership of the place.

I never thought of Harvey Dent as having 'multiple personalities', I though, oh, that his executive function regulator had snapped and no longer functioned to make ethical/moral decisions.
