Aubrey Plaza was probably Plan B for casting Sofia...

Vic needs a clothing allowance so he can blend in at all these fancy places...

The beginning scene was tough.  I can't even imagine going through something like that.

Oz is very good at manipulating people.  He inserts a bit of the truth and he's almost got me believing him.

I'm surprised Vic invited Graciela to Oz's place and told her what type of person he worked for.  I really hope nothing happens to her.

I wonder if Sofia's therapist is the supplier of Bliss.  I would be wary associating with a drug used on psych patients.

I'm surprised Viti felt so comfortable talking shit to Oz when he was just caught fucking the boss's wife.  I had to look away when Oz shoved the phone in his mouth, but I caught the caption that said "tooth breaking".  Ugh!

Took me a few seconds to figure out that the cold opening was a flashback to Vic's life before the flood.  Damn, that was a tough watch seeing Vic helplessly look on as his family got killed.  Nygma/Riddler really did a number on Gotham's citizens. 

But it is probably fair to say that Vic will end up regretting not going with Graciela/his girlfriend to California when it is all said and done.  Oswald might be trying to give off a vibe of appreciating him and I don't think he's setting out to harm him, but when the chips are down, Oswald will always look out for Oswald first, and I don't see that working out for Vic.  The time will come when it might be easier to sacrifice him and I can easily see Oswald doing it.

Johnny Vitti is at the top of my list of characters I don't see making it past this season/series.  The man is literally caught with his pants down and still thinks its wise to mouth off to both Oswald and Sofia.  Even if he is quelled for now, I can see him trying to make a move against them and I don't think he has the smarts or temperament to make it work.  His downfall will be fun to watch!

Heh, as soon as Oswald asks Sofia to let him prove his loyalty, he straight up abandons her to a pissed off Nadia in order to save his own skin.  Classic Penguin!  Hopefully there isn't too long of a separation because Colin Farrell and Cristin Militoi's rapport and chemistry are the best thing about this series.

Fun seeing Francois Chau as the head of the Triad.

“Trauma sells.”

Oz came from nothing, always being considered a laughing stock and he doesn’t want to be reminded of that.

Sofia is still haunted by her time at Arkham, continuously being judged by the public and undermined by her own family.

Vic has lost his entire family in the blink of an eye. He saw from a distance how his family being swallowed by the flood. He’s struggling with survivor’s guilt especially with the way he left thing with his father.

Vic seems to be mirroring the path that Oz has taken. Oz used to be Sofia’s driver and Vic is doing the same for him. Oz thinks his relationship with Vic is evolving. That’s why he gets upset when Vic acts like he’s being held hostage. Their scene in the restroom is a stark contrast to their scene in the restaurant earlier.

The life with Oz is the “Bliss” for Vic — an escape from his old life. Vic finally realizes that he isn’t held hostage by Oz but by his own potential in this life with Oz. A great character development. 👏🏻

SOFIA: “I don’t know how to trust you.”

OZ: “How ‘bout I keep showing you how.”

3 minutes later…

VIC: “How about Sofia?”

OZ: “F*ck! Leave her.” 

🤣🤣🤣

Both times that Vic has been on body disposal detail, he was threatened with execution... feels like a hostage situation... Oz is betting on Stockholm Syndrome

Need more details on the women Sofia allegedly killed. Was it mob related?

ETA: Did Oz promise to corroborate her story, then bail when Carmine offered him a promotion?
