The Penguin Episode 8 "A Great Or Little Thing" Synopsis

Based on characters created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane for Detective Comics.

Spinning out of Matt Reeves The Batman under showrunner Lauren LeFranc

Episode Written by: Lauren LeFranc

Episode Directed By: Jennifer Getzinger

At the former Monroe Jazz club, Sofia Gigante uses Dr Julian Rush’s experience to take Francis Cobb back to her youth. She recalls meeting with local gangster Rex Callibrasi to discuss her son Oz. She always knew that Oz was the one who killed her other sons Jack and Benny. But despite being given every opportunity Oz never took responsibility for their murders. Rex gives the struggling mother two options. Either nurture Oz’s tendencies, give him purpose, and he could be something great or Rex will help her let him go.

Planning to have Rex murder Oz, she takes him out to Monroe’s for one final night. But as Oz promises to take care of her if she’ll give him a chance, Francis calls off the kill. 

In the present day, Sofia uses this knowledge to encourage Oz to finally admit to murdering his brothers. But, even with the threat of Francis losing a finger, Oz continues his lies. Incensed, Francis disowns him and stabs him with a broken bottle. But Francis has a stroke and falls to the ground. 

Using this as a distraction, Oz breaks free, killing Sofia’s guards and GCPD Detective Marcus Wise before driving his ma to the hospital. 

Meanwhile Victor Aguillar fails to convince the leaders of the other gangs of Gotham to help Crown Point following Sofia’s car bomb. Oz Cobb calls him to the hospital where Victor convinces him that he’s important to the city. 

Oz makes a final play. He meets with Councilman Hady at City Hall telling him the car bomb was just the latest in the tit for tat battle between the Falcone and Maroni family. If the Councilman brings in Sofia Gigante the city will be very grateful. All he wants in return is the ear of the influential people of Gotham.

Elsewhere, Sofia has decided to leave everything behind so she offers the gang leaders the Falcone’s home, territories and business to the one who brings her Oz Cobb.

The Triad’s second in command, Ling, uses his relationship with Victor to get to Oz. As Sofia is burning her past she arranges for Oz’s transfer at another location. But it’s a trap. Spurred on by Oz and Victor, Ling turns on his boss Mr Zhao, killing him. As Oz captures Sofia and turns her over to the GCPD, the tide of Gotham’s underworld changes. All the bosses are taken out by their disrespected underbosses and followers. 

Oz takes Victor back to the hospital to celebrate his final success with Francis. But he learns that her stroke has left her immobile and non-verbal. Unable to get the approval he sought from his mother, Victor commiserates with Oz. Realising his closeness with the kid has become truly familial, Oz strangles and kills him. Disposing of his ID in Gotham bay and his last shred of weakness.

Sofia is unresponsive as she sits in a cell in Arkham, once again under the care of Dr Julian Rush. He brings her a letter from someone claiming to be her half sister, someone called Selina Kyle.

Now the king of Gotham’s underworld, Oz finally sets the vegetative Francis up in a penthouse overlooking the city. As a tear rolls down her face, Oz dances with Eve. She’s dressed as his Ma and tells Oz how proud she is of him. He believes there’s nothing left to stop him as, unseen by Oz, the Bat Signal rises over Gotham.

When he was a boy, Oz Cobb was resentful of the attention that his mother gave to his brothers, Jack and Benny. He wanted all of her focus to himself. After they play a joke on him during a game of flashlight hide and seek, Oz leaves his brothers trapped inside an overflowing sewer tunnel where they drown.

In the present, Oz returns to his apartment and finds an injured Victor, who reveals that Sofia Gigante has kidnapped his mother Francis.

Oz sends Vic to find an army for him right before Salvatore Maroni arrives with his men; Maroni beats Oz and makes Oz take him to his underground lair, where he intends to seize Oz’s base of operations, but Oz and his men stage an ambush, and Maroni dies of a heart attack while fighting Oz.

Meanwhile, Sofia has Dr Rush interrogate Francis Cobb about Oz's weaknesses. While Sofia goes to visit the last surviving member of the Falcone family Gia Vitti. The young orphaned girl intends to cooperate with the police.

During the trade, Sofia sends in a bomb, instead of his mother, that destroys Oz's base and kills his entire crew. Oz survives and resurfaces, only to be knocked out by GCPD Detective William Kenzie to be brought to Sofia Gigante at the Monroe Metropol where she is holding Frances hostage.

Agatha All Along Finale Synopsis

Agatha Harkness Character Created by Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.

Creator and Showrunner: Jac Shaeffer

Episode 8 Written by: Peter Cameron

Episode 9 Written by: Jac Schaeffer and Laura Donney

Both Episodes Directed by: Gandja Monteiro

Following Lilia’s death, Agatha is confronted by Rio, the personification of Death. She believes Billy is an abomination as he gained a second life by entering the body of William Kaplan. Agatha agrees to deliver him willingly to Death once they’ve completed the road and is allowed to continue on the journey with Jen and Billy. 

But after a few steps they find that The Witch’s Road goes in a circle. Angered that the road is not what he thought, Billy puts his shoes back on, and the three are transported to body bags in a version of Agatha's basement with grow lights that slowly go out. The final trial has begun.

Each of the remaining members of the Coven need to get their reward for reaching the end of the road. When Jen learns that Agatha was the witch who bound her, she performs the unbinding spell and regains her abilities. Jen disappears, having gotten what she needed from the Road. 

Agatha helps Billy locate Tommy's soul, and Billy puts it in the body of a drowning boy. Billy disappears and Agatha grows a flower through a crack in the floor using a seed from her locket, completing the trial in the nick of time. She leaves the room and finds herself in her garden, where Death awaits her. 

While Billy returns to help Agatha, she attempts to complete her vow to Death and give Billy up, but he convinces her it is her time. Agatha kisses her old lover and dies, returning to the earth. 

Death allows Billy to leave, and he returns home to his parents. Upon entering his bedroom, he realises that many of the objects match aspects of the Road and hears Agatha laughing.

Elsewhere in 1750, Agatha has difficulty in childbirth, as Death arrives to take her son, Agatha pleads with her not to take him. Death tells Agatha that she already has a better deal than anyone else alive so all she can give her son is time. Agatha gives birth to Nicholas Scratch, knowing that one day Death will eventually return to take him. 

Agatha spends the next six years absorbing other witches' powers and leaving their bodies for death while raising Nicholas. As they travel together, Nicholas and his mother concoct a familiar song of their journey. Over many iterations of their travelling tune, the Ballad of the Witches' Road is formed. Nicholas performs the song in a small village, hoping to ensnare some witches for his mother. But he is too sick to complete the ruse. That night Death finally comes to take the young boy. 

While Agatha mourns her son at his graveside, a witch from the village approaches her. She wants Agatha to help guide her down the famous Witches Road. Agatha hatches a plan to continue her long life using the song she created with her son. She spends the next three centuries absorbing other witches' magic by tricking them into gathering covens to open the Road then aggravating them into attacking her. 

Back in Billy’s bedroom in present day, Agatha, now a ghost, tells Billy that he created the Road. He despairs, blaming himself for the deaths of Lilia, Alice, and Sharon. Agatha tries to relieve some of his guilt saying she killed Alice and Lilia gave herself up but admits Sharon was killed by Billy’s mind. As Agatha planned to kill the whole coven anyway, she believes he should consider himself a saviour as Jen got out alive. 

Billy returns to Westview and tries to banish Agatha in her basement; But she reveals that she is afraid of dying because she cannot face Nicholas Scratch after all she’s done. Billy allows Agatha to remain as a ghost and seals the door he created to the Witches Road with the names of Sharon Davis, Alice Wu Gulliver and Lilia Calderu. Together, the new Coven of Two, Billy and Agatha set out on a Quest based on Billy's Vision to find his brother Tommy.

The Penguin Episode 6 “Gold Summit” Synopsis

Episode Written by: Nick Towne

Episode Directed By: Kevin Bray

It’s winter in Gotham and in the weeks since he set up his underground base under the city, Oswald Cobb has been growing his empire significantly. He employed most of Crown Point’s residents to reproduce and distribute the drug Bliss throughout the city to as many gangs as will take it.

Sofia Gigante and Sal Maroni are irritated by other gangs dealing with Oz. They string up three members of The Sullivan gang as a warning to the rest to stop dealing with him. 

Oz makes a decision to give Bliss away for free, for one night only, to anyone who wants it. This seeds the drug into all the boroughs of Gotham. He sets a meeting with the leaders of all other gangs in the city, calling it the “Gold Summit”. At the meeting, Oz convinces the gangs to work together against the Gigantes, Maronis, and upper elite. Together they will take back Gotham. 

Meanwhile back in Crown Point, Victor is confronted by Squid, an acquaintance and drug dealer, who asks Victor to let him join the operation. But given their past Victor is reluctant to bring him in. He tries to pay off Squid but when he threatens to expose Oz’s operation, Victor kills him and flees the scene.

Oz learns that the Gotham City council have been redirecting power away from Crown Point to richer neighbourhoods so he threatens a corrupt councilman to return the power back to Crown Point, so his mother, Francis, can feel more comfortable. But Francis’ condition deteriorates further, and she forces Oz to promise to kill her if she becomes severely ill. 

Elsewhere, as Sofia and Sal try to uncover someone close to Oz, Sofia discovers Eve. Visiting the Gotham red light district Sofia finds Eve, initially threatening to kill her to get to Oz, but Eve gives up his location after Sofia reveals Oz was aware that she was framed for the murders of Eve’s girls by her father. 

As power is restored to Crown Point, Oz’s flat buzzes into life with music and lights, Francis takes advantage of it and both her and Victor dance to the music, unaware that Sofia Gigante is looking on from the doorway with a crowbar in hand.

Agatha All Along Episode 7 Synopsis

Agatha Harkness Character Created by Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.

Creator and Showrunner: Jac Shaeffer

Episode Written by: Gia King & Cameron Squires

Episode Directed by: Jac Shaeffer

Agatha Harkness and Billy continue on the Road together. He angrily disagrees with Agatha about his mother being Wanda Maximoff. He has a mother from when he was William Kaplan. But he wonders if Wanda is alive or dead, with no help from Agatha.

The pair come across a castle, the setting for their next challenge. As their new trial begins, the two are garbed as the Wicked Witch of the West and Maleficent, respectively, and are presented with tarot cards. The teen is inexperienced in Tarot and Agatha has no belief in this type of magic. But if they put a card in the wrong place they may be killed by a sword from above and if they don’t complete the trial in 30 minutes they will be crushed by the approaching ceiling.

Meanwhile, the pieces of Lilia’s complicated life slowly fall into place as she reaches her end. Lilia has been experiencing her life out of order, creating gaps between what she knows and the conversations she has.

After falling through the witches Road, Lilia discovered that Rio is actually the personification of Death (something Agatha already knew), threatening that her time is coming. 

She awakens Jen and after avoiding the Salem Seven, venture through the tunnels before reuniting with Agatha and Billy (Lilia is dressed as Glinda, Jen is dressed as a hag). As Tarot is a speciality of Lilia’s she takes over the trial. Initially she reads for The Teen, confirming he is Billy Maximoff. But the reading doesn’t slow the trial and she realises it is for her not Billy.

Lilia puts together the elements from her life placing the proper cards in order, saving them all. As the exit opens, Lilia chooses to stay behind as the Salem Seven come down on her. 

She reverses the Tower Card, causing the entire room to flip, impaling the Salem Seven on the swords. As Lilia falls to her death, following her unorthodox life, she arrives back at her first lesson with her mentor centuries before.

Episode Written by: Jason Rostovsky

Episode Directed by: Jason Rostovsky

Three years ago, William Kaplan, a teenager from Eastview, was celebrating his Bar Mitzvah and had a palm reading with Lilia. Seeing something on his palm, Lilia writes the sigil spell to protect him, but forgets him as well. 

The party ends when an emergency call goes out as the Hex over Westview created by Wanda Maximoff begins to fall. While driving past Westview, William's parents become distracted by the collapsing Hex and have a car accident where William dies, at the same time, as Wanda says goodbye to her sons, Billy Maximoff awakens in the empty vessel of William's body. 

Billy has trouble adjusting to life in William's body after the accident because of his ability to read the minds of those around him and his lack of memory of his life before. 

Three years later, William and his boyfriend Eddie meet with Ralph Bohner (Bohnerriffic69), who used to be controlled by Agatha Harkness inside Wanda's Hex. He tells them about what happened there and about Wanda's twins Billy and Tommy, making Billy realise who he is. Determined to use the Witches' Road to find Tommy, Billy goes to Agatha and undoes Wanda's spell. 

In the present, Agatha escapes the mud and confronts Billy. Realising that the sigil has been destroyed, she deduces what his goal is and tells him that they must continue together to find his twin, since Billy cannot control all that power he has inside.

Time to go back to Arkham as we discuss The Penguin Episode 4 "Cent'Anni". We chat all about this Sofia Falcone centered episode in spoiler filled detail.

The Penguin Episode 4 “Cent'Anni” Synopsis

Episode Written by: John McCutcheon

Episode Directed By: Helen Shaver

Under the gunpoint of Nadia Maroni and her men, Oz Cobb pleads for his life, explaining that he was only working with Sofia Falcone to get access to her drug business. But Nadia doesn’t believe him and reveals to Sofia that Oz is the murderer of her brother Alberto. As Victor arrives and saves Oz, Sofia calls Dr Julian Rush to help her.

Sofia recalls the events that led to her time in Arkham State Hospital. Ten years ago after being approached by Summer Gleeson from the Gotham Gazette, Sofia realised her father, Carmine Falcone, could be behind her mothers death and six other women connected to his business. But Sofia tells the reporter she’s investigating the wrong man and leaves the meeting.

When Oz Cobb, her driver at the time, reports the meeting to Carmine, Sofia is brought before the family leader. She tries to have a conversation with her father so he can clear her mind of suspicion but Carmine sends her home with Oz.

But on the way home, the GCPD arrest Sofia for the murder of the Gotham Gazette reporter and all the other women. Due to written letters from her father and most of her leading family members, Sofia is committed to Arkham State Hospital for a six month evaluation ahead of her trial. 

Under the watchful eye of Dr Ventris and his assistant Dr. Julian Rush a brutal incarceration follows with Sofia being subjected to a violent beating by another inmate and results in her receiving daily electroshock therapy. 

After the six months her brother Alberto tells Sofia that Dr. Ventris has deemed her unfit for trial and she is to remain in Arkham State Hospital. In the present day, now free, Sofia discusses her predicament with Dr Rush, who convinces her she needs a break.

She returns to the Falcone family home and surrounded by all the heads of the family she calls them out for their part in her incarceration. She announces her plans to start a new life as she doesn’t fit into the family anymore.

Late that night, Sofia enacts her plan, using gas to suffocate all the members of her family apart from her most hated rival Johnny Viti. She holds him at gunpoint while they discuss Sofia’s next steps.

Summoning The Green Witch, Rio, to the Witches Road left a door open for Agatha's pursuers, The Salem Seven, to follow the coven.

Unwittingly they discuss Agatha’s murder of her coven and learn that she left their daughters alive and they are on a vendetta against her.

To escape the transforming hunters, the Teen again suggests using old magic. The coven taking to the skies on brooms.

But The Witches Road drags them back down for the next trial. A blood red trial for Agatha herself.

She must use a Ouija board to contact a spirit and learns that she must be punished before leaving. The ghost of Agatha’s mother tries to get the coven to kill Agatha as punishment and possesses her. Alice tries to give her coven mate some power to fight off the possession, but Agatha, almost unconsciously, drains Alice leaving her for dead.

While the Teen mourns Alice another ghost, Agatha’s son Nicolas Scratch, arrives as her real punishment calling on his mother to stop. With the task complete the remaining witches escape. 

But back on the road a repowered Agatha recognises the Teen. He reminds her of her mother, but she’s never seen him wearing a crown. But Lillia and Jennifer drag Agatha off the road to be buried as they turn towards the teen, but he is now a fully powered wiccan who pushes them off the road.  

But where is their Green Witch Rio? Will she be able to save them or will she even try?

The Rings Of Power Season 2 Episode 8 Details

Episode Written by J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay

Episode Directed by Charlotte Branstrom

Episode 8 Synopsis

Prince Durin confronts his father, the King, as the King goes against all the advice of his son and Narvi his advisor, and opens a large mithril deposit under Khazad-dûm. The Balrog that lives below the mithril mine, awoken by this activity, attacks King Durin III and in the ensuing fight the King is lost as the entrance to the cavern collapses. In the aftermath, Prince Durin assumes his place as the next in line to the throne.

Meanwhile, in Rhun, the Stranger goes to the Stoors' canyon to help Nori Brandyfoot and Poppy Proudfellow. He rejects the Dark Wizard's offer to supplant Sauron and the Dark Wizard destroys the canyon. The Stoors, who refer to the Stranger as "Grand Elf", are forced to find a new home and are joined by Nori and Poppy. The Stranger takes a branch from a tree in the canyon as his staff. Returning to Tom Bombadil, the Stranger says he will come to be known as "Gandalf".

In Numenor, Ar-Pharazôn learns from the palantír that Halbrand was actually Sauron in disguise and accuses Míriel of aligning herself with Sauron, discrediting the results of her trial by the Valar. Hungry for power, Ar-Pharazon has all members of the Faithful accused of treason and arrested. Despite following Ar-Pharazôn to this point, Eärien warns Elendil and he avoids capture. He attempts to escape with Míriel but she refuses to join him, giving him the sword Narsil and sending him to reclaim his lordship in the west of Númenor.

On Middle Earth, Kemen claims Pelargir as a military outpost for Númenor on behalf of his father and demands the Southlanders and Wild Men cut down the forest in exchange for shelter and supplies. Isildur and Estrid acknowledge their feelings for one another and he asks her to return to Númenor with him, but Kemen does not allow this and Isildur leaves Estrid with Hagen.

In Eregion, Sauron tortures and kills Celebrimbor. He is approached by Glûg, an Orc who has grown disillusioned with Adar's leadership. Galadriel finds Adar in his original Elf-form, as revealed by Nenya, and he returns the ring to her before he is killed by Glûg and other Orcs that have pledged themselves to Sauron. 

Sauron attacks Galadriel and takes the nine rings for Men, but she jumps off a cliff before he can take Nenya. Durin IV sends his army to aid the Elves, allowing Elrond, Gil-galad, Arondir, and other survivors to escape to a valley north of the city. Elrond and Gil-galad use the Elven rings to heal Galadriel, and the Elves resolve to stand against Sauron's army as it marches across Middle-earth.
