Gordon learns more about the Order of St. Dumas, but Galavan’s plans are unstoppable for now.

Two steps forward, 1,000 steps back.

That seems to be a running theme onGothamfor anyone on the good side.

We begin our weekly dose of this sinister city with a mystery.

A woman runs in fear away from what is acting like a typical Gotham City violent thug.

At the moment, their motives are still cloudy.

the most threatening villain with the least threatening name).

Im gonna watch them put you away.

But as all TV shows and movies tell us, villains are never taken down this easily.

Gordons feeling is dead on, especially considering how we finally get a glimpse of how the Order operates.

Heres one silver lining about this weeks episode: At least Bruce and Selina are friends once again.

And that starts with spending some quality time with Silver.

Hes put Gordon on a new case: The thug who fell victim to the Orders plan.

But heres the kicker: Galavan attempted to procure the abbey one week prior.

Gordon literally says To hell with it, and gets moving with Bullock.

But of course the Order arrives before them with knives at the ready.

NEXT: Bruce gets clever.

A newfound respect is a-brewing for Bruce, as he becomes more and more like his future alter-ego.

Silver tries to cover her tracks, but its too late.

The day of reckoning is at hand.

And the blood of the nine will wash away the sin.

And Gotham shall be cleansed.

Thats as much information as Gordon receives about the Order from a member he confronts at the massage parlor.

But apparently stab wounds arent so painful or injurious to the Order as to us lowly humans.

But Barnes tells Gordon he still wants GCPDs finest to be present for Galavans day in court.

Will anyone at the GCPD be smart enough to realize Edwards connection to the growing number of missing people?

And as the two detectives find the Orders secret lair (complete with victim no.

8 lying dead at the altar), the Order member strikes.

I think we all can agree that this has to be Bruce?

The two foes meet for the first time and Alfred taunts and threatens Tabitha, who returns the favor.

But Bruce then states that the confession was actually how he truly felt about Selina.

But things cant gotoowell for our heroes and they take a turn for the worse rather quickly.

The ground that Gotham is built on is poisoned by the wrongs done to my forefathers.

I will change that.

Belief gives strength, purpose and not all the victims are random.

Unfortunately, Gordon underestimates Galavans strength (due to belief, perhaps?

), and gets knocked down over and over again.

Theo leaves Gordon to be killed by his policeman lackeys and arrives at Bruces house.

He takes out his blade and tells Bruce he wants his life.

But as we know, the future Bat cant go down easy.
