At Barbara Kean's penthouse, Oswald introduces himself as "Peter Humboldt", an old friend of Jim, who recently had come back to Gotham. Jim walks him out to the street, where he furiously berates him for coming back, telling him that Falcone would kill them both if he found out that Cobblepot was still alive. However, Oswald replied that Gotham was his home and he couldn't go anywhere else. He then offered to work for Gordon as his underworld informer, telling Jim that though Fish Mooney and even his own partner Harvey Bullock have lied to him, Oswald would never lie to him. Oswald then tells Jim of a brewing war that would soon arise. Jim questioned him about the "war", and Oswald told him that war was just another form of politics, and that it was all centered around Arkham. A couple of teenagers then arrived laughing and shouting, giving Cobblepot the opportunity to take off.

Elsewhere, City Councilmen Jenkins and his adviser were approached by a man who claimed to be one of his constituents. He shows the consultant a strange telescope and asked him to look through it. However, the telescope turns out to be a murder weapon, from which shoots an iron spike and pierces the consultant in the eye. Panicking Jenkins tried to run away, but is caught by the killer and killed with the same weapon.

The next day, Captain Sarah Essen assigned the case to Gordon and Bullock. However, Harvey unmotivated and would like to end the case quickly. Jim believes that it was a political act, though Harvey contradicts him because councilors would normally rather be bribed, and not killed.

At her club, Fish Mooney held auditions. The young woman on stage sung well, but Mooney was not entirely convinced, as what she sought, was more than a singer. Fish then asks her if she is into men or women, though the singer tells her she likes men. Fish then asks the singer to pretend that she was a man and to seduce her. However, the singer fails, though Fish notes her singing ability. The singer is dismissed, and Fish informs Butch Gilzean to keep looking. Butch objects because the girl was pretty, but Fish tells him that she didn't want a pretty girl but a weapon.

Gordon and Bullock interrogate the first suspects in Jenkins murder. Though Bullock initially suspects Nicky, Gordon believes in his innocence. Back at his desk, Gordon finds a box of evidence related to Jenkins case, with under it a promotional booklet on the Arkham project.
