After strange people with special abilities (named Meta-Humans by the Media) begin appearing, Bruce works to discover how this came to be with help from his best friends Ethan Bennett and Vicki Vale. During this season, he falls in love with Susan Dent, who opens a new club works with her brother Harvey Dent go up against their own father, William Dent. Speaking of William, he has an obsession with tracking a crystal, reviving a project, and defeating a rival in the criminal underworld. This season introduces the appearances of the younger Barry Allen and Sara Lance. It also introduces characters from the Batverse such as Harley Quinn, Rupert Thorne, Sal Maroni, the Valestra Crime Family (Salvatore Valestra, Buzz Bronski, Chuckie Sol) Magpie, and Humpty Dumpty. This season takes inspirations from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Season two takes place about five months after season one. After season one's finale, Bruce is now an inmate of Blackgate Penetentiary after being framed for the murder of a gang leader that a corrupt officer committed under William Dent's orders. While in prison, Bruce makes friends with the former police commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and Tim 'The Titan' Teslow. Bruce manages to escape from prison with help from his friends and decides to lay low in Smallville to hide with Lana Lang under the alias 'Adam Knight'. Bruce soon meets Lana's friend Clark Kent and begins to suspect something is odd about him while encountering bizarre things in Smallville which are similar to back in Gotham. Even after Bruce's innocence is proven, William still tries to kill him until Bruce makes peace with him. Sooner, Bruce realizes that William is Gotham's biggest criminal himself which is why he works with Susan and Harvey to bring William down once and for all. Ethan and Vicki investigate a new role-playing game Knights and Dragons, where a strange armored vigilante called Azrael uses it to communicate with his followers. Vicki and Ethan then discover Vicki's mother is an FBI informant working to bring down Azrael and the cult he is a part of. A surprising death occurs at the end of the season. Season two also has the appearances of Scarecrow, Lock Up, Black Mask, Azrael, and the first appearance of another DC character, and, no surprise, it's Clark Kent along with his other friends Lex Luthor, Lana Lang, Lois Lane, Pete Ross, and Chloe Sullivan.

Season Three
Season three takes place weeks after season two. Bruce, Ethan, Harvey, and Susan are still trying to recover from the explosion that killed Vicki and her family, which Ethan holds Harvey and Susan accountable for since they involved Vicki in their feud against William right after he was arrested. Strange things start to happen in Gotham relating to time travel and Bruce unintentionally alters the timeline making a big change: Elizabeth Dent, William's deceased wife, is alive and has been against William for sometime. Harvey and Susan embrace their new life without William but find they still have to deal with the consequences of their father's actions. Ethan tries to deal with life without Vicki and becomes full of hope when he learns of the possibility of Vicki being alive and Arnold tries to be there for his brother. While Vicki is gone, Gordon is blamed by Vicki's father for putting his daughter in danger and Gordon has to deal with the fallout of his half-sister being gone. Speaking of William, he is struggling to adjust to life in prison and to survive from Black Mask, a crime lord with a vendetta against him. The main question everyone asks in the first half of the season is if Vicki is really gone. At the second half of this season, Bruce will focus on bringing down a dangerous vigilante called the Red Hood when the Red Hood is targeting those he deems as "sinners", including Alfred, who was having an affair with Elizabeth that resulted in the Red Hood hunting him. Season three introduces the return of Clark Kent, Chloe Sullivan, Lana Lang as well as members of the future Justice League, a glimpse to Bruce's future, the origins of Black Mask, Carmine Falcone who is an old friend of Thomas Wayne, and many more from Bruce Wayne's third year of crime fighting without the cape and cowl.

Ian Randall is revealed to be one of the people infected from the gas leak at the docks and uses his powers to date Vicki and Susan at the same time since Vicki can make his public status look good due to Vicki being on the school newspaper and since Susan comes a wealthy family. Bruce becomes suspicious of him with Vicki and Susan dismissing it as Bruce being jealous. Ian uses his duplicating abilities providing the perfect alibi for any attempts Bruce made to convince the girls that he was with the other, but later sent a duplicate to kill Bruce and Ethan after Bruce revealed that he knew Frankel had given Ian a C (He had examined the grades when Ethan wanted to know his grade). Harvey provides Bruce with Ian's scholarship application- revealing that he was taking classes at Hamilton Hill High and Gotham Community College simultaneously-, Bruce and Ethan eventually confirmed their theory by paging Ian to be at Vicki's house and at the Talon at the same time, Bruce watching Vicki's house from his truck while Ethan waited outside Zeta.

The other Ian, however, could not hold on and fell. The fate of the two Ian's are unknown. Vicki and Susan agree not to keep secrets from each other (again). Later, they meet Bruce at school to apologize. Bruce expresses disappointment that they both trusted Ian over himself, while Susan and Vicki admit the mistake but cite that it was their mistake to make. The conversation ends with Bruce affirming that he doesn't think he should be treated like the jealous boyfriend, and would rather be treated like a friend. This marks the first time Bruce takes a truly proactive and decisive role in defining the relationships between all of them. Ethan later meets with Bruce to confide in him that Ian was also near the docks on the night of the explosion making Bruce believe that the chemicals gave people powers. Meanwhile, Harvey meets Simon’s daughter Sapphire Stagg at a charity gala. Unlike Simon and Randall, Sapphire shows remorse for what her brother Randall did to Susan. Harvey invites her into the mansion after Sapphire gives Susan a sincere apology for what Randall has done. Sapphire proposes that they both take over both their fathers’ companies together.

His blood alcohol level was 2.0 and there was gunpowder residue on his hands. Eyewitnesses at the mansion say they saw Alfred’s car leaving the mansion after the shots were heard. Ethan and Vicki go out to search the site where the police found Alfred’s car. Ethan finds a bullet in a shed.

Ethan arrives to tell Dunbar about the bullet in the shed and the theory that his dad is being framed. Dunbar promises to follow up on it, but he doesn’t seem enthusiastic. Sharpe visits Dunbar to tell with his version of events. He tells the sheriff that Harvey and William had an argument the night before about framing Bruce.

They find the bartender dead and packed in a freezer, but they also find another clue that gives Ethan an idea for laying a trap for the shooter. First, they put out the word that William was getting better; then they moved him to another floor. Sergeant Dunbar arrives and shoots William’s empty bed. Gordon and Arnold then arrive to disarm him. Gordon tells Dunbar everything he knows: Dunbar had an arrangement with the bartender at the Wild Coyote, which is how he got away with repeatedly violating the law against serving minors.

After a failed prison escape, Warden Sharpe brands Bruce and finds out that William paid the Red Fists in Thorne's gang to lie and frame him. Ethan informs Arnold that whomever killed the principal when their parents were at school was the game master. Before the fight club, an inmate stabs Bruce, claiming the Warden told him if he did he would ascend. Susan, Harvey, Vicki, Alfred, and Ethan hatch a plan and manage to help Bruce escape and hide him in Ethan's bunker. Ethan realizes Bruce's brand is the same symbol that was on their deceased classmate's back. Sharpe, set to meet with William, commits suicide by cyanide poisoning after failing to ascend in the game by killing William. Ethan becomes face to face with the Azrael.

6."Pennyworth"-Commissioner Forbes questions the students of Hamilton Hill High about their whereabouts during Bruce's escape when Susan has a seizure because of all that stress. Alfred's birthday is happening soon which is why Bruce, Ethan, Lucius, and Vicki plan to celebrate it at the bunker while Harvey rather be at his sister's side right now out of concern for her stress levels, whom he blames William for. Unfortunately, Alfred has been having a series of accidents that almost kill him. Bruce and the gang investigate to discover that Alfred's bad luck was because of Captain John Curzon, who holds a personal vendetta against Alfred for sleeping with the Queen of England in the 1960s back when Alfred was a British SAS soldier before immigrating to America to work for Thomas Wayne. Together, Bruce and the gang are able to turn the tables against Curzon. In the meantime, William tries to take advantage of Susan's condition to have several fast food franchises that he owns, such as the Big Belly Burger, beside Susan's coffee shop. Enraged, Harvey logs onto William's computer to find out that Commissioner Forbes had a hand in framing Bruce as well as Dunbar: Forbes paid the witnesses in the Red Fists to say that they saw Bruce murder Dorrance when it was actually Dunbar who did. Harvey almost finds a report that Forbes and William withheld that proved Loeb was drugged into causing the accident at the subway. Harvey submits it to the FBI, who review it and realizes that Forbes overstepped his authority by coercing his suspects into confessing. The FBI then proceed to have Forbes charged and Loeb released. As for Bruce, because of an emergency trial ordered by Mayor Klass, who learned about what Forbes did from the FBI, Bruce is found not guilty. Unaware that he has been exonerated, Bruce decides to leave Gotham with Ethan just as everyone (Alfred, Lucius, Harvey, Susan, and Vicki) arrive to the bunker to celebrate his birthday with Bruce.

7."The Man in Black"-Bruce and Ethan plan to take a break at a farm, where they meet with Ma Parker and her children. During a meeting with Bruce, Ma Parker's daughter kisses him and he reciprocates, but later thinks of Susan and stops. Ethan finds the entire children playing the same board game that Azrael uses to communicate with his followers. Ethan also becomes shocked to discover that the entire town is controlled by William and Ma Parker is helping him track Bruce in exchange for William forgiving a debt that she owes his bank. Ethan informs Bruce of this and they flee. Susan and Harvey move out. Harvey decides to run his own company while Susan continues to manage her coffee bean to compete with William. Meanwhile, Bruce and Ethan decide to stay at a motel for the night. However, Bruce decides to abandon Ethan in order to protect him for William which is why he takes the bus to Smallville to meet his childhood friend from summer camp, Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk). Lana listens to Bruce's story and agrees to let him stay at the Talon, her very own coffee bean. Bruce then asks Lana to call him 'Adam Knight' while he stays in Smallville since Bruce still believes he is wanted for murder. Vicki and her mother are horrified to find Azrael in their house. They retreat to Vicki's room but find Caldwell's gravestone on Vicki's bed before Vicki's father arrives and comforts them. Later, under orders from her parents, Vicki is forcibly taken to Arkham Asylum where she discovers all the patients are painting pictures of Azrael.

8. "Crush"-Julie falls for Justin Gaines, a telekinetic seeking revenge against the surgeon who couldn't heal him and the driver who hit him. Harvey is jealous of this. In the spring of 2002, Justin Gaines was released from the hospital after suffering extensive injuries in a hit-and-run accident. Hamilton Hill High Principal Kwan's son Danny had accidentally hit Justin, but the authorities had failed to track the car. The elder Kwan, worried that the Air Force would have Danny prosecuted should he go public about the accident, ordered his son to stay quiet and bought his car in order not to destroy Danny's promising career. This proved to be a fatal mistake, as Justin traced the license plate and assumed James Kwan was responsible for the accident. Justin broke into Kwan's house and telepathically moved the same car that hit him to murder Principal Kwan. Harvey mourned Kwan's death, with Vicki commenting some secrets can be deadly, even if they are to help your loved ones. Kwan was later avenged by Harvey, who subdued Justin in a fight. Justin's parents, who presumably learned of Justin's wrongdoing, had him committed to a hospital for the criminally insane. The death also hurt Danny Kwan, who went through with his original plan of reporting the accident to his superiors to atone for his earlier mistake. In Smallville, Lana is closing up the Talon when she hears Adam shouting upstairs. She enters the apartment to see him thrashing violently in the throes of a nightmare. He kicks her in the stomach before he wakes up sweating and panting. Lana is concerned but Adam says he doesn't want to talk about it. Later, Lana meets with Lex who says neighbors reported Adam shouting. He also has a list of invoices for repairs to the apartment. Lana says she didn't tell him because she didn't want to jump to conclusions and Adam has been a big help at the coffee shop. Lex cautions that Lana doesn't know much about him. Adam is at the Mansion skillfully playing a difficult piece of music. Lex is impressed but Adam shrugs off his admiration. Lex asks him about his behavior and reveals that he has been investigating his past. Lex talked with his teachers who seemed to have rehearsed their answers and he promises to keep digging. Adam meets Lana's ex Clark Kent (Tom Welling), Adam would later dismiss Clark at first as a great guy from the sticks, before realizing that something is odd about this farm boy.

9."Hereafter"-On one of his first days of class at Smallville High School, Jordan Cross is running with the cross-country track team. Lana and Pete are also on the team. They end the run on the football field, where Jordan glances at a pretty cheerleader, Megan Calder, and Lana approaches Coach Altman. She tentatively asks the coach if there is anything she can do, but he seems extremely depressed and just replies that no one can do anything. Lana approaches Jordan and compliments him on his running skills. She impulsively grabs his hand and Jordan is suddenly shocked into a vision: He sees Lana as an old woman dying peacefully in her bed. She is wearing her neutralized kryptonite necklace, accompanied by an old man. Jordan is unnerved and leaves abruptly. Coach Altman approaches him and puts a hand on his shoulder asking him when he's going to join the team. Jordan has another vision: Coach Altman is standing directly in front of an oncoming car being hit head on. Upset by now, Jordan runs away from the field. In front of the school, Clark catches up with Jordan and introduces himself as his mentor to show him around school. Jordan doesn't shake his hand and covers by saying that he has been home schooled until now and is trying to get used to all the people. Clark waits for him to check in with his dad. Jordan's dad knows that he has had visions and says he thinks it's a mistake for Jordan to be in regular school but then Jordan sees Mr. Altman crossing into the street. He is horrified to see his vision begin to play out, but Clark notices Jordan's reaction. He sees the oncoming car and super speeds to push Mr. Altman out of the way. Mr. Altman dissolves into tears, saying he just wanted to be with his little girl. Clark and Jordan are both stunned. Lana and Megan arrive at the hospital to visit Coach Altman. Lana explains to Clark that she, Megan, and his daughter Julia were all best friends in junior high school when they cheered together. Julia was severely injured when a car hit her. She had no chance of recovery, but Mr. Altman hoped for a miracle and only took her off of life support last month. Lana leaves to visit with Mr. Altman. He is unconscious and Megan is crying at his bedside. She laments that she and Julia were fighting the night of the accident and she blames herself. Lana tries to comfort her, noting that she didn't go after her either. Lana leads Megan away and Coach Altman awakens as they leave. Jordan is navigating the crowded halls of high school trying not to touch anyone when Clark grabs his shoulder. Instead of a horrifying image of death, he sees a fluttering red cape and a tranquil, endless expanse of space and stars; however he is still skittish and admits that he doesn't like being touched. The students file past him and every time someone runs into him, Jordan winces and touches his head. Clark recognizes the gesture and asks if Jordan knew what Coach Altman was going to do. Jordan just excuses himself and goes outside to get some air. That day at school, Chloe enters an empty classroom and sees Adam drinking alcohol. When he leaves, she collects the syringe. She meets Clark at the Torch office and almost tells him what she saw, but stops herself. Clark shows her an article he found in the Smallville Ledger database: when Jordan was six, he foresaw a woman dying on a roller coaster. They learn that Jordan's mother died the day he was born, the day of the meteor shower. Their investigation is interrupted when they hear commotion on the schoolyard and arrive to see Jordan confronting Megan. They are both upset; Jordan is insisting that Megan allow him to walk her home, and Megan is screaming for him to leave her alone. Clark tries to calm Jordan down. Near tears, Jordan explains that Megan is going to die, but runs away without further details. Clark follows Jordan and offers to help. He says he knows about the roller coaster and he believes in Jordan's visions. Jordan finally admits that when he touched Megan, he saw her dying in a fire. Clark suggests they try warning her again. As they walk to Megan's house together, Jordan describes his visions. He and his father have never been able to prevent one from coming true before Clark saved Coach Altman. He tells Clark that his vision of him was like he didn't have an ending. They arrive at Megan's house to find Sheriff Adams. She reports that Megan's car was discovered abandoned and questions Jordan about his fight with Megan that day. Jordan's dad comes to get him and tells him to wait in the car. Clark pleads with Mr. Cross to give Jordan another chance at school but Mr. Cross says that Jordan should be home so he can protect him, then they realize that Jordan has run off again. Lana is doing some research at the Torch and asks Adam to meet her there. She tries to ask him about the needle, but he is defensive and avoids all of her questions. He stalks away and runs right into Jordan. Jordan is affected by what he saw and then Lana finds him. He admits that he's hiding from his father. Lana reaches out to comfort him and Jordan sees another vision: Lana is dying in a fire. She is surrounded by photos, flowers, toys, and a sign, which reads "Wandering Hills". She screams. Jordan seems surprised that the vision has changed. He tells Lana not to leave the school. Lana is confused, but as Jordan turns to go find Clark, a masked figure knocks Jordan to the floor, drugs Lana, and drags her away. Chloe goes to talk to Adam but he is not in the apartment. She uses the opportunity to snoop around and finds alcohol. Her investigation is interrupted by Lex. He asks her about her concerns and admits that Adam's piano skills made him curious. They discuss Adam's uncanny talents in a variety of subjects. Lex simply tells Chloe to lock up on her way out. Clark has been looking for Jordan all night and Jonathan wants him to give it a rest. Clark feels guilty because he led Jordan into the middle of a crime investigation. Jonathan explains that he can relate to Jordan's dad wanting to shelter and hide his son from the world and tells Clark that Jordan will come home when he's ready. Clark agrees to stay home for dinner and is about to follow Jonathan in the house when Jordan appears. He tells Clark how he and Lana were attacked and about how his vision of Lana's death changed. He tries to recount all he can remember from the vision. Clark shows him a photograph of Julia Altman and Jordan confirms that he saw a photograph of her in the vision. He remembers a sign that indicates the neighborhood and as Clark sets out to rescue the girls, Jordan insists on coming along. Mr. Altman has both girls tied up in a basement, along with a collection of photographs and mementos of his daughter. He says that he heard Megan confessing in the hospital and now he blames them for Julia's death and intends to set the basement on fire to avenge his daughter. He starts the fire just as Clark and Jordan arrive. Clark instructs Jordan to stay in the car and goes to rescue the girls. He gets Lana loose as Altman tries to pull him away. Clark pushes him away as Jordan arrives and frees Megan. Altman attacks Jordan who is stunned by multiple touches. However, Jordan's vision corresponds with reality, indicating that he sees Altman's own death. After the girls are safe, Clark reenters the basement to rescue Jordan, who is unconscious. He carries him out just as the house blows up and administers CPR to revive him. When he comes to, Jordan is surprised that he does not receive a vision from Clark's touch. Later, Lana visits Lex at the mansion and tells Lex about Adam's reaction to her questions. He tells Lana that Adam is Bruce Wayne, an innocent kid wrongfully accused of murder. Lana then confesses the truth to Lex and Lex promises to keep this confidential. The next day, Jordan tells Clark that right before he was going to die, he saw his mother and when he was revived, the visions were gone. He is upbeat about it and says that he was destined to meet Clark to get rid of them. Lana arrives shortly afterward with Jordan's homework and explains that she's going to help him catch up in exchange for track training. Clark exits and Jordan is suddenly withdrawn and quiet again. Lana asks him what's wrong and Jordan reluctantly says he saw something strange when he touched Adam. Lana asks what it is and Jordan replies that he saw bats when he touched Adam. That night at home, Clark is quiet and Martha asks what's on his mind. He says he wonders what the consequences of his altering destiny will be if he makes the wrong choice and people die. Martha assures him that he has to concentrate on the lives he saves. She gives him a plate of cookies to take to Jonathan in the barn. Clark arrives with the plate but is horrified to see that Jonathan has collapsed. Clark tries to help him up as Jonathan is muttering, "Not yet" and "I love you, son" just before he passes out. Clark calls for his mother.

10."Delete"-Chloe is packing up her desk at the Daily Planet and saying goodbye to her editor, Max Taylor. He remarks that she must have enemies in high places to get blacklisted while still in high school. She gives him a couple of stories that she was working on and asks him to look them over. It is impossible for him to publish anything she has written so Chloe suggests a pseudonym: her cousin's name, Lois Lane. Lex is working late at LuthorCorp and goes looking for the on-call tech guy. He finds Molly Griggs. He explains his problem and she gives him a disc which should scan for the viruses. After he leaves, Molly finishes removing the hard drive from Chloe's old computer. Chloe arrives at the Torch office and Pete tells her that someone came by and confiscated all the donated computers. She exits the school late at night and is run down by a familiar Dodge pickup. She has to dive under the pickup to avoid harm and is shocked when Clark climbs out of the truck. Clark looks equally surprised to see the wrecked truck and Chloe on the ground. At the hospital, Sheriff Adams declares Clark to be stone sober and questions the two teens about the incident. Clark can't remember leaving the library. Chloe tells the sheriff it looked like Clark lost control of the truck. The sheriff dismisses Clark and he runs into Lana, who introduces him to Adam Knight, who just finished another session of physical therapy. The next day, Lex tries to return Molly's disc and learns that no one named Molly works in the tech department and that all hard drives from the computers she was working on were wiped out.At the Talon, Lana makes Adam a complicated cup of coffee, and they talk about Lex. Adam admits that he is still not returning to Gotham even though he was exonerated because William would still after him. Adam is also fine with Lex knowing about this since Lex's father Lionel Luthor was good friends with Thomas Wayne before he died. Clark is examining the pickup when Chloe arrives at the Kent Farm. She informs him that there was no tampering done to the truck. She asked the mechanic. She starts to cry and says she can only apologize for investigating him so many times. Clark realizes that Chloe thinks he tried to run her over on purpose. He admits that he still isn't over her betrayal, and Chloe reminds him of his own recent bad judgments, but then they switch gears, and she asks him if he remembers anything after the library and he says the last thing he remembers is working on his laptop. Chloe examines the computer and learns that he downloaded an email from someone named "'Brainwave'" just before the accident. It is revealed that "'Brainwave'" is Molly Griggs' screen name as she prepares to send an email message to Lana Lang. Lana finishes showing Adam around the school when she receives an email message on a handheld device that Lex gave her. The message consists of flashing lights rather than words. Lana's eyes glow. And after receiving the message, Lana immediately seeks out Chloe and bashes her head against the wall and throws her down the stairs. Lana follows her down the stairs and coolly states that she is trying to kill her. Lana kicks her in the chest and hits her across the face before Chloe starts to fight back and they fight violently and intensely down the stairs. Chloe rams Lana into a firehose case, and the latter grabs an ax. She chases Chloe down the hall, through the locker room, and into the shower. She knocks Chloe down and is about to bring the ax to her head when Adam intervenes with some impressive martial arts of his own. Lana finally stops trying to kill Chloe when Chloe trips her and she hits her head on the floor and asks what happened. Later, at the Talon, Clark, Lana, Chloe, and Adam try to piece together why and how someone would want to kill Chloe. They realize that they both got suspicious e-mails just before the attacks. Clark guesses they were hypnotized. Adam helps them track down the IP address of the sender and they realize the messages came from the computers taken from the Torch office. Clark wonders how Adam knows so much about martial arts, computers, and the human brain. He goes to Metropolis to ask Lex if Lionel is behind it. Lex realizes that the mysterious Molly probably was responsible. Lawrence Garner visits Molly in her loft apartment. He tells her that Max Taylor is questioning him about Chloe's scathing article on his dubious research into Arkham Asylum. After Ethan visits, Vicki finds some of her classmates at Arkham Asylum, where she tries to make her life seem insignificant. She finds the doctors feeding the patients with Fever and finds William Dent helping them to do so. Now with solid evidence of who the doctors really are, she tries to flee, but the doctors and the guards catch her. They then make her meet the Azrael and then forcefully feed her Fever. Chloe finds Clark at the Torch office. He tells her what he learned from Lex. She recognizes Molly Griggs' photo and says that Molly is a super-smart engineering prodigy who was being treated at the Arkham Asylum after a psychotic break. Chloe interviewed her for a story she was writing about Lawrence Garner, so they call Max Taylor to warn him. Unfortunately, Molly has already gotten to his secretary, who kills Max during their phone conversation. Clark takes Chloe to the Luthor mansion for protection and she tells Lex what she knows about Lawrence Garner. Clark leaves to talk with Garner and Lex leaves to talk with the techs he put in charge of tracking Molly. When Clark arrives at the Institute, he confronts Garner with everything he knows, and Garner has security escort him out. Clark uses his super hearing to hear Garner make a call to Molly and overhears Garner give the name of the apartment building and number to the operator. When Clark arrives, he finds Lex is already there. Molly explains that she is defending Dr. Garner out of loyalty. He doesn't have the power to control her. She developed the program herself. Lex discovers that Molly sent another email, and Clark is horrified to realize it was to his mother. Just then, Chloe arrives at the Kent farm, in response to Martha's phone call. Martha comes at her with a sickle while Jonathan chains her to a post by her neck. Chloe knocks Martha unconscious with a kick to the head. Clark arrives and pulls Jonathan off Chloe, but when he tries to help Chloe up, Jonathan comes at Clark with a meteor rock. He punches him several times before Chloe knocks out Jonathan by releasing several bales of hay stored on the upper level of the barn. They snap out of their trances. Lana has Bruce meet with Alfred and Lucius, who are glad he is alive. Bruce still refuses to return to Gotham by arguing about William only for Lucius to reassure him that Gordon is working to bring down William. Nevertheless Bruce still wishes to remain in Smallville. Alfred reluctantly accepts Bruce's decision. Later at Arkham, William approaches Dr. Garner and warns him against any further attempts on Chloe's life as William wants to only focus on Bruce. He admits to having stashed Molly away somewhere safe. Then he blackmails him with Chloe's article. He threatens to have it published unless Dr. Garner agrees to send a "special boy" to Smallville to deal with Bruce.

11."Loeb"-Mayor Klass reinstates Loeb as commissioner of the G.C.P.D. in Forbes' absence while worrying that Loeb might be unstable to run the department following his ordeals in prison. Loeb vows to clean up the department and end corruption. With Gordon and Arnold's existence, they recruit several aspiring police trainees from the Police Academy in order to form an elite team to accomplish that goal. Meanwhile, Harvey and Susan learn that William intends to shut down Hamilton Hill High. Harvey tells Gordon that the drugs are coming from the prison Wiilliam is constructing. In Smallville, William's agent Kyodai Ken aka Chad Nash arrives at the Talon to meet up with Bruce, going by the name Adam Knight. Chad meets up with Lana which leads to him meeting Adam. Chad claims Bruce is an old friend. Bruce denies this and tells Chad to leave. After laughing at Bruce's alias, Kyodai leaves, being someone Bruce met in Tokyo. Bruce admits to Lana that the two were rivals in Tokyo. Eventually, when Bruce managed to actually defeat him, Kyodai became enraged before being forced to his quarters by the Sensei. While Bruce was training late, he caught Kyodai trying to steal valuable swords of the sensei's. The two get into a short fight before the sensei arrives and demands that Kyodai leave. When Kyodai charges, Bruce knocks him away, and they end up at a cliff where Bruce offered his hand to Kyodai, but he refuses to take the hand and apparently falls to his death. Back in Gotham, Gordon and the Strike Force fail to apprehend the Red Fists when they cause a shootout at the prison. William plays the innocent fool claiming he was unaware that the drugs were there. Loeb assigns Gordon to a special duty with the FBI, who are also seeking to bring down William Dent. After speaking to Arnold about it, Gordon reluctantly accepts.

11."Velocity"-Bruce checks in on Jonathan and Martha Kent recognizes Bruce as Martha Wayne's son. It is revealed that Clark's adopted mother and Bruce's mother went to school together, Metropolis High, before Martha Kane married Thomas Wayne. Later when Bruce, Lana, and Chloe are heading home to discuss Jonathan's recovery, a driver almost runs Chloe over. When they confronted the driver, a friend of Pete's named Jason Dante, Bruce punched him in the face. He also confronted Pete about speed racing to compensate for his parents getting divorced, having learned about it from Chloe. When Pete storms off, Bruce comments that the conversation could've gone better. Clark catches up with Pete out on the highway. There have been a number of fatal car accidents using kryptonite-boosted fuel but Pete feels that he has finally found the thing that he is really good at, and he doesn't want to give up racing. Clark threatens to physically stop him if he has to. That night, Clark visits his father in the hospital and tells him a little of his trouble with Pete, and he admits that he's been taking Pete for granted. While Pete is getting ready for another race, Dante tells him to take a dive. Pete ignores him and the guy is out $20,000. Dante threatens to kill Pete if he doesn't turnover the keys to his Mustang, repay the $20,000, and stay away from the street races. Pete has no idea where he's going to get $20,000, and he's scared to death. Bruce reviews Thomas Wayne's journal to learn something relatively surprising: In Smallville, while on a drive with a pregnant Martha Wayne, Thomas witnesses a strange object fall to Earth. As he inspects it, Thomas' consciousness is transported to Krypton, and presented in a holographic form. There, he encounters Jor-El, wishing to know what kind of a world Earth is, as it is one of many possible candidates for him to send his son Kal-El to. Thomas tells Jor-El that the people of Earth aren't perfect, but are essentially a good and kind race, who would raise the child right, convincing Jor-El to send Kal-El there. Upon returning to his body, Thomas uses the technology in the Kryptonian probe to revitalize a failing Wayne Enterprises. Years later, the alien technology would be the basis of much of Batman's crimefighting technology. Thomas recorded his encounter in a diary. Bruce realizes that Jor-El resembles Clark and deduces that Clark is an alien, however, Bruce decides to keep this information to himself. Pete comes to visit Jonathan and tells Clark about his trouble with Dante. Clark tells him to lay low and goes to snoop around Jason Dante's barn. He discovers a collection of license plates and VIN numbers. He takes them to the Smallville Torch, and Chloe helps him discover that they are all from stolen cars. Clark takes this information to Sheriff Adams. The sheriff has been after Dante for a while now, so she commits eight deputies and four cruisers to the raid on Dante's barn, but Dante was tipped off by one of the deputies, and Sheriff Adams is furious with Clark for sending her on a wild goose chase. Dante guesses that it was Pete who called the sheriff. He beats him up and threatened to kill his family if he doesn't come up with the money. Pete begs Clark to steal the money for him, but Clark hates that idea, so he asks Lex for the money. Lex warns Clark that if he pays off thugs once, they will be back for more, so Clark hatches a new plan: he takes Lex's Porsche. It's worth a lot more than $20,000, but its not as fast as Jason Dante's racecars. Pete will offer the Porsche to Dante as the prize in a race against Dante. If Dante wins, the Porsche is his. If Pete wins, the debt is settled. Pete will drive the Mustang he always races. Dante has never lost a race, so Clark plans to use his heat vision to sabotage Dante's engine. Pete is excited about the plan, but Clark is angry about lying, stealing, and cheating to get Pete out of trouble. Later, they meet Jason Dante in his barn, and he accepts the challenge. While Pete drives the Porsche down to the starting line, Clark overhears Dante talking about a bomb in Pete's car that's rigged to go off when he hits 100 mph. Clark tries to call off the race, but he is knocked out with a canister of kryptonite-boosted fuel. They stuff him in the trunk where the kryptonite keeps him unconscious until Pete burns up that fuel during the race. Clark tears open the fuel tank just before Pete reaches 100 miles per hour. Jason Dante loses traction on the spilled fuel and dies in a terrible crash. Later, Bruce wakes from a nap in pain, sweaty, bleeding from his eye with lesions on his skin. He stumbles to the kitchen counter, grabs some alcohol and starts drinking. Alfred has arrived with Lana and Bruce becomes angry at Alfred for trying to bring him back to hell and tells him that Susan should move on from him. Lex arrives at the Kent Farm to talk with Clark saying that someone took his Porsche and then returned it. Jonathan arrives home from the hospital and tells Clark that he did talk with Jor-El, and he thinks that is why his heart gave out, but he doesn't regret his decision. Jonathan expresses confidence in Clark's ability to make the right choices when the time comes. Bruce later visits Clark at his home where Bruce reveals that he wants to date Lana and asks if Clark is fine with this. Clark gives Bruce his blessing to date Lana and invites him to play basketball, which Bruce accepts. Bruce and Clark are shooting hoops when Pete drives up. Pete apologizes for what happened, and he promises that nothing like that will ever happen again, but Clark is not ready to forgive and forget.

12."Rebirth"-Dr. Scanlan recommends triple bypass surgery to repair the arterial blockage in Jonathan's heart. Jonathan is reluctant until Clark tells him how important he is to him. Clark is in the waiting room with a classmate, Garrett Davis. Garrett's brother Vince is suffering from serious liver failure. Clark is very worried about his father, but Garrett tries to encourage him until they hear a code blue for Vince's room. They rush down the hall and see Dr. Borg attempting to revive Vince, but he is not successful. One of the attendants quietly sends an email message as he notes the time of death in the chart. Clark tells his mother that Garrett's parents died when he was little. Vince was his guardian, so Garrett will be sent to foster care until his uncle arrives from Germany in a few days. Martha Kent invites Garrett to stay with them instead. Meanwhile, Vince's body is urgently transported by helicopter back to Metropolis where William is. It arrives at Dr. Garner's lab. She immediately administers an injection to his chest, which revives him.Garrett and Clark are talking about Vince when Martha comes in to tell Garrett the crematorium has called asking where they should send Vince's ashes. Garrett is confused and Clark takes him to sort it out. Garrett knows that Vince wanted to be buried next to his parents, but he is given file with Vince's signature on the cremation form, but he believes it was forged. Back in Gotham, after learning about what happened to Vicki in Arkham, Gordon and the FBI try to convince the doctors to testify against William. After a meeting with Attorney McCoy, Vicki realises that the doctors argument may be useless but soon discovers that the guards and doctors at Arkham have all committed suicide to avoid testifying against William. Vicki is shocked when she learns that Valeria kicked out the patients from their house and shipped them off to a place called the Farm. Clark and Garrett return to the Kent Farm just before Vince arrives. He says that he woke up in a lab and now he needs to fall beneath the radar. Before he can tell Clark where the lab is, he doubles over in pain, bleeding from his eyes. They take him to the hospital where Dr. Borg explains that Vince's liver is rapidly deteriorating. Garrett is distraught at the idea of losing his brother again. Clark visits his father, who is preparing for surgery. He wants to stay with him, but he also wants to go to Metropolis to find the mysterious lab and maybe save Vince. Jonathan tells him to go to Metropolis, then reminds Martha of their promise to let Clark go when he's ready. Bruce and Lana begin dating. Clark goes to see Chloe at the Torch. She is able to confirm that Metropolis General only received two organ donors yesterday, both female, so Clark goes in search of the helicopter pilot, Ben Powell, who must have been paid off to deliver Vince's body somewhere else. After verbally threatening to report the body stealing scam to the authorities, Ben reluctantly flies Clark to the location where he was paid to make the drop, which turns out to be Metron Pharmaceuticals. Clark uses his super hearing to overhear William Dent and Dr. Garner discussing about the vial of serum that he catches her working on, which he says looks identical to the serum used by Kyodai Ken, which contained blood platelets of unknown origin. Clark uses his super speed to steal the vial undetected. Dr. Scanlan is just beginning Jonathan's surgery when Garrett shows up with a bomb strapped to his chest demanding that Vince receive a liver transplant. Clark returns with the serum to find the medical center surrounded by deputies. He tells Sheriff Adams that he has the medicine that will cure Vince. Reluctantly, she allows Clark to talk with Garrett. Meanwhile, Pete explains to Martha that Garrett's bomb is the same type that Vince used in his demolition business, laced with meteor rock. Garrett takes the call from Clark and agrees to trade most of the hostages for the vial of serum. Clark is careful to keep his distance, but when the serum boils in Garrett's hand, Clark suspects that it is made from his blood. Dr. Borg injects Vince in the correct location, but it does not revive him. Garrett insists that he transplant Jonathan's liver to Vince. Dr. Borg tries to explain that there is almost no chance of success, but Garrett is too desperate to listen and there are twenty other patients in the building. Sheriff Adams has ordered a sharp shooter to seek a vantage point and take Garrett out. When he shoots Garrett, his finger comes off the bomb's ignition switch. Clark runs to the radiology department, grabs a lead apron, removes the bomb from Garrett's chest and runs away from the medical center before it explodes. William manages to find Kyodai, who has been stealing from Wayne Enterprises' Metropolis branch. Loosing faith in Kyodai due to impatience, William declares that Kyodai is no longer a participant in his research program. Clark is helping his father leave the hospital when he tells him that the serum that revived Vince was made from his blood. Clark suggests that if his blood can help people, maybe he should come forward. William has the screaming Kyodai locked up.

13."Crisis"-Lana needs to study for Mr. Jensen's history exam, so she asked Clark to cover her shift at the teen crisis hot-line. Clark starts working with Pete and the first call he gets is a message from Lana. Someone is chasing her with a gun.

Crane is then taken to Arkham for his treatment. Becoming enraged that William is succeeding, Turner visits Harvey to blackmail him into helping the FBI against his father (Unlike Gordon, Turner is very arrogant to the point of being delusional, as she believes being an agent of the FBI means that the laws do not apply to her. Turner was waiting for Harvey in the living room of the Dent Mansion when she had no court order to search the place. When Harvey angrily confronts her about this, Turner rudely tells him that she doesn't give a damn).

Vicki then asks if she has ten minutes before literature class. A green mist expels as she talks. Mrs. Taylor admits that she can't do it because she watched TV instead of preparing for class, so she has to make up a pop quiz. Ethan and Vicki are stunned and amused at her honesty.

Ethan says Bruce's going to run to the stadium to get hot dogs to eat while they watch the a game between the Bludhaven Brawlers and Gotham Knights, and the round trip will only take ten minutes if he goes all ninja.

At the coffee shop, Julie is reading a brochure on the Paris School of the Arts. Bruce asks if Julie has noticed anything unusual about Vicki, and Julie tells him that one of her dad's old coworkers called to ask about his security card. Bruce doesn't think Vicki would steal, but he starts to wonder if she did indeed break into the lab. Vicki approaches Mrs. Taylor as she is arriving at the school with her son Will. She tries to interview her again and Mrs. Taylor says that the only downside of teaching is hiding her past. She continues to say that she changed her name after playing a minor part in a radical group that blew up a bank in 1972. She is guilt-ridden and upset and Will is horrified. He leads his mom away and tells Vicki to stay away from them. Vicki can't believe her scoop and puts the story on the cover of the school newspaper. The whole school is mad at Vicki for the story and Bruce is annoyed at her lack of discretion, saying the FBI should handle the matter. He asks her about breaking into the Dent Industries and tells her that it's wrong to allow people to tell her their private thoughts.

This upsets Vicki and she leaves. She goes to the Dent Mansion, summoned there by Harvey. He knows that she can make anyone tell her the truth and says he wants her to use her ability to find out what William made him forget while he was in Arkham Asylum. Vicki says those memories pose a threat to him and he should just leave it alone. She says Harvey is the reason her father can't get a job, but Harvey tells her that William is responsible. Vicki sighs and rubs her temples. She asks Harvey why he continues this endless game with William, and Harvey says the only thing he's ever wanted from William is love. Harvey is embarrassed by his admission. Later, Bruce discovers that Vicki was writing a story on the Levitas Project, headed by a military general named Wade Eiling. Vicki seems recovered when William Dent enters her room. He admits that he blacklisted her father because she defied him. He also admits that he worked with Rupert Thorne to kill his parents, Christopher and Lucy Dent, so he could use the life insurance policy on them to build Dent Industries before Thorne and him had a falling out.

Bruce finds General Eiling who tells him Dent Industries was working on an inhalant to make anyone the ultimate interrogator; he was dishonorably discharged when he discontinued the project. He predicts that Vicki will be dead by morning, but he was able to save a sample of a cure that he never tested. He produces an enormous syringe and instructs Bruce to put the entire dose directly into Vicki's heart. Bruce then passes it on to Ethan, instructing him to give it to Vicki. Bruce calls Vicki on her cell phone. She is driving to Ethan's apartment, but her headaches have worsened and she is close to passing out. Suddenly, a large blue truck tries to run her off the road and she crashes into the side of Coughlin Bridge. The truck is being driven by Will Taylor. Bruce calls Gordon who arrives to the scene. Bruce is able to save Vicki and Ethan gets there in time to plunge the needle into her heart and she wakes up. William is summoned to William's office and William demands to know from his son why he revived the Levitas project. He asks Harvey what he wants from him, but his son says it doesn't really matter because he will never get it. A fully-recovered Vicki goes to Bruce to apologize and thank him for saving her. She feels guilty about what she did and confesses to Bruce that she was going to publish an ongoing FBI investigation. Bruce is surprised, but he says that she wasn't herself. Vicki is very upset and regretful at her actions and says that maybe the serum brought out her real personality. She is afraid that one day she will use up all of her chances to say she is sorry. Bruce tells her that today's not that day and gives her a hug. Vicki later discovers that William had his confession deleted from her recorder.

He superspeeds away. At the Blackgate Prison, William is having a visitation with Bruce. He looks very weak and pained. Bruce remarks that he probably has about a month to live. William explains that he did not want to die without telling Bruce he loved him and reaches across the table to him. Just then, Clark enters and uses his X-ray vision to see that William is clutching a pointed stone. He rushes between them and lifts William away from Bruce, William grabs Clark's fist and the spirits of the two men swirl and merge. They switch bodies and fall away from each other. The guards rush in and haul Clark-in-William's-body away as he protests. William-in-Clark's-body stutters out an explanation to Bruce, who has a pilot take him home. The pilot drops "Clark" off and he wanders around the barnyard, where he finds Jonathan, who asks him to lift up the tractor. William is astonished to discover that he can. Clark finds an entire wall filled with articles and research about the Stones of Power in William's prison cell. He meets his cellmate, Edgar Cole. Edgar tells him that he is an expert translator who was framed and helped William figure out how to switch bodies, intending to trap Bruce in prison. Edgar also tells Clark that William is dying of an incurable liver disease.In Clark's barn, William is admiring his new physique, while on the phone with a foreign bank. He is trying to transfer funds, but he fails the voice verification and grows frustrated. Martha enters, and is surprised to see Clark wearing a dress shirt and slacks. She notices Clark's behavior is off, and asks him about the ringing he heard earlier. "Clark" says he just needs a hug. They hug awkwardly and Lionel becomes aroused and shoots a beam of heat out of the barn window. Martha gets annoyed and leaves. In the house, Jason has come back to see how Clark is feeling. "Clark" tells him that he's not going to the football game and quits the team, slamming the front door closed. Jason looks shocked. In prison, Clark-as-William asks Edgar to help him make a phone call. When they enter the common area, Black Mask roughs Clark up, threatening to kill him. Without his abilities, Clark is powerless to fight back. William tries to access the Dent Industries company database from the computers in the Torch office, but Lex has changed the password. Chloe arrives and also comments on Clark's attire. William tries to kiss Chloe, he pulls back and whispers cruelly, "Don't you wish," and saunters off. Chloe is nearly in tears as he walks away. Lana and Jason are in his office discussing their relationship and "Clark" walks by and bursts in on them kissing. He makes rude remarks about their relationship, shocking Jason again and upsetting Lana. William-as-Clark goes to the prison to visit Clark-as-William. He threatens to kill Bruce unless Clark records himself saying the access codes to Lionel's bank accounts. Back at the barn, he learns the accounts are empty and is still seething as Lana enters. She tells him that her relationship with Jason is serious, but she's sorry he found out the way he did. He doesn't really care, but decides to play mind games with her, too. He forces a kiss on her and she slaps him across the face, as she storms off angrily while William looks pleased with himself. Bruce arrives at the prison to visit "William" and Bruce realizes that "William" is Clark. William-as-Clark then goes to the Dent mansion to force the money out of Harvey. Through his words and actions, Harvey realizes that he is really William as he forces the life out of him. Bruce shows up and subdues "Clark" with a meteor rock, but he zips away. Bruce tries to call Jonathan to warn him, but "Clark" arrives first and throws Jonathan across the room. He is just in time to answer a call from Edgar. At the prison, Edgar explains that the transference is temporary unless one of the people is dead. At the same time, Black Mask is harassing "William" again in the common room. He fights back and a riot breaks out. William-as-Clark uses the opportunity to approach Clark-as-William and picks him up by the front of his prison uniform (orange jumpsuit and white slip-on sneakers). The two argue and Clark-as-William grabs his hand, clutching the stone. Their spirits transfer back into their rightful bodies. Clark drops William and the stone and speeds away. Dazed, William notices the liver splotches on his hand have disappeared. Back home, Martha and Jonathan inform Clark that he (William-as-Clark) quit the football team and upset both Chloe and Lana. Clark explains that he was drawn to the stone, just like he was as Kal-El. He tells them about the altar in the caves and about how he believes the stones are meant for him to find. They warn him of William, since he knows his secret, but Clark remarks that William is dying. At school, Clark tries to patch up his friendships with Chloe and Lana, who are still furious. Chloe suggests he get psychological help, and Lana angrily asks him to keep quiet about her and Jason, not realizing that Clark didn't know what William did as "Clark". Bruce and Clark go to visit Harvey who immediately threatens Clark with the four barrel pistol. As Harvey knows William could be inside Clark's body, he must have proof it is Clark in Clark's body. Bruce manages to convince Harvey the truth. Harvey drops the pistol and apologizes to Clark. While Harvey wonders how it all happens and Bruce plays "dumb" claiming that the stone gave William powers while he was in Clark's body. Bruce then thanks Clark for saving him since William would have put him in prison again and if that were to happen, Bruce would've died from liver failure. Clark asks a favor of Harvey to help Edgar out of prison. After asking s few questions, Harvey agrees to try and get an innocent man out of prison. Bruce later takes Clark to Vicki's grave to tell him about his time travel experience and how Clark encountered Lucius at some point where Lucius received kryptonite from Clark. Deciding that he trusts Bruce, Clark plans on giving Bruce a piece of kryptonite that Bruce will use in case anyone tries to exploit him of his abilities. Bruce thanks Clark and admits he has been at a loss since Vicki's death, since William killed her for providing against him.

Talia explains to Bruce that the Ghosts are led by Ebenezer Darrk (Neal McDonough), an overconfident individual with a sick sense of humor, that used to work for her father in Nanda Parbat untill her father sensed darkness in Ebenezer and had him exiled. Darrk is claimed to be a major player in America's underworld, the head of a criminal organization called the Holistic Integration for Viral Equality, which is HIVE for short. Ebenezer is also seemed to have had access to unique high-tech equipment that has never been used by any known organization. Darhk is considered to be a major criminal; however, their investigations revealed no hard evidence against him. He was a wi-fi fiend, staying in touch with associates by the very latest forms of mass communication. Bruce wants to help Talia find Darrk except that Talia refuses Bruce's proposal since she fears for his welfare. In the meantime, Carmine Falcone returns to Gotham after spending time in Hong Kong, China. Falcone tries to visit Bruce at Wayne Manor only to be turned away by Alfred, who warns Carmine to leave Bruce alone. Carmine has returned to defeat Darrk and enlists aid from a group called the Irish except that the Irish are executed in cold blood by a man in a red hood. Bruce and Ethan decide to disobey Talia's wishes and discovers Ebenezer plans to cause a terrorist attack on Gotham's railways which leads to Ethan informing Arnold and Loeb about it. Vicki meanwhile is spending time with her family. While Valeria is in favor of Vicki spending time with her half-brother James Gordon and niece Barbara, John refuses to allow it since he blames Gordon for putting Vicki in danger. Vicki disobeys his father and bonds with Gordon as well as Barbara. Talia tries to stop Ebenzer but gets caught and when Bruce intervenes, Talia is forced to kill Ebenezer to protect Bruce. Talia starts to burst into tears, breaking down, out of guilt for killing a man and Bruce decides to comfort her.

As Bruce and Carmine are getting drunk, the man in the red hood starts appearing on every television screen in Gotham. Calling himself the Red Hood, the man in the red hood vows to rid Gotham of its sinners and publicly takes responsibility for trying to kill Alfred as well as the Irish. Bruce then gets angry at this and smashes the glass of rum Bruce is holding, causing Bruce's hand to bleed. Gordon decides to leave the apartment to get Big Belly Burgers for Vicki, Barbara, and Valeria. While Gordon is gone when the Red Hood is broadcasting his message, the Red Hood arrives, knocks out Valeria, and shoots Barbara despite Vicki's attempts to protect her niece.

11."Entrapped"-Barbara is rushed into surgery and though Barbara recovers, she is now paralyzed making Gordon be devastated. In the meantime, Commissioner Loeb assigns Arnold to investigate when a new vigilante is killing criminals in the Narrows and suspects it to be the Red Hood. In reality though, it is actually a vigilante known as Lock Up, who was actually inspired by the Red Hood to take up vigilantism. Arnold and Loeb discover that Lock Up is actually Lyle Bolton, the former guard at Blackgate who was fired about Bruce stabbed himself and blamed it on Bolton in order to protect Bolton from Black Mask who wanted him dead. Mayor Klass knew what happened from Loeb and was planning to reinstate Bolton only for Bolton to refuse, due to having lost faith in the system because of the corruption in prison. Valeria and Vicki try to be there for James and Barbara, but John refuses to take part in it and by arguing that Gordon brought this on Barbara. Becoming consumed with hatred for masks, Gordon visits Black Mask in prison to verbally express all his anger on him since Black Mask was the first masked lawbreaker in Gotham. After Gordon finishes giving Black Mask a piece of his mind, he leaves upon learning from a guard that Bolton has kidnapped Mayor Klass, Loeb, and Elizabeth, which leads to Gordon working with Arnold to save them. Meanwhile, Bruce founds a vigilante group called the Outsiders, to protect Hamilton High students and much to Alfred's dismay, he continues to bond with Carmine. As someone whose had his fair share of run-ins with the law, Carmine could say with confidence that the police weren't always the solution. Drastic times called for drastic measures, meaning they would have to take justice into their own hands. Looking to revisit the topic of the Outsiders, Carmine does provide a suggestion. While it was a noble idea, evil had no regards for nobility or good intentions. Sometimes, defending one's self just isn't enough. Striking back is often in order. The killer, now calling himself the Red Hood, was waging a war based on terror and fear. Those are his weapons. They should be yours too, Carmine says to Bruce. After helping Arnold, Gordon meets with Loeb to convince him to provide funding and manpower for the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, a task force Gordon wants to assemble to bring down vigilantes. Because of being friends with the warden, Loeb is well aware that Gordon went to visit Black Mask in prison, blaming Black Mask for his family and city's problems. Loeb gives Gordon some personal advice: "You have reputation for solving every case you've been given, even the ones declared cold. You're now a sergeant and the the go-between for both the GCPD and FBI. You're going to go far in this department, I'm sorry about what happened to Barbara, but don't  let your hatred for these Masks consume your life". Gordon refuses to listen to Loeb's advice and argues that the task force is dedicated to protecting people from people like Black Mask by pointing out that Azrael, Magpie, Scarecrow, Lock-Up, Humpty Dumpty, the Ghosts, the metahumans, and the Red Hood all started with Black Mask, and many more will arise. To Gordon, Black Mask unleashed a new breed of criminality that started in 1994 that turned Gotham into a mad city. In an attempt to ensure that Gordon wasn't hunting Red Hood for personal reasons, Commissioner Loeb decides to show Gordon a video from his laptop of Bruce and his fellow Outsiders, all of whom were wearing black masks, sending a message to the Red Hood, vowing to the Red Hood that they will hunt him down and kill him. Alfred is watching this video horrified while Carmine is watching the video in satisfaction. In flashbacks to 1994, Carmine attended the Waynes' funeral and is revealed to have been a friend of Thomas Wayne for a long time. At the funeral, Carmine urged Bruce to always ask him for a favor if he ever needed it, thus beginning the bond between Bruce and Carmine, whom Bruce began to view as a surrogate father similar to Lucius and Alfred.

12."Thanksgiving"-Bruce's viral video results in negative repercussions, as Gordon and the Principal demand the Outsiders disband. Although Bruce refuses, the Outsiders disband regardless due to the basketball team being suspended but later resemble with aid from Susan, who convinces everyone to wear t-shirts to symbolize the Outsiders. Meanwhile, Elizabeth, on the board of the Gotham City Bank, tries to oppose their interest in holding Carmine Falcone's bank accont only to face opposition from Richard Daniel.

The Irish destroy Hamilton Hill High, forcing Elizabeth to support Carmine for her children's sake while all the students are glad that school is gone. Bruce steals a revolver from Alfred and Susan realizes that Bruce intends to murder the Red Hood. After learning what happened from Elizabeth, Carmine chastises his son for destroying a high school to send Elizabeth a message, Milos Grappa, the arsonist who destroyed the school, is strangled to death by the Red Hood with a piano wire. Vicki gets a letter from the Red Hood, revealing her opposition against WIlliam Dent inspired his actions and gives her a cipher that she is able to solve. Mayor Klass and Commissioner Loeb hold a meeting to discuss action against the Red Hood. Vicki's mother speaks in favor of the Red Hood while Alfred voices his opposition. Vicki and Ethan discover that the Red Hood intends to attack City Hall and has the meeting evacuated, before showing the letter to Arnold, the Vales, Detective Gordon, Commissioner Loeb, and Mayor Klass. Susan convinces Bruce to spare the Red Hood's life and Bruce returns the revolver to Alfred, who decides to dispose of it as he never wants to be around another weapon again. Later, Vicki gets a call from the Red Hood right after the Red Hood guns down "The Irish" during their Thanksgiving dinner.

The Red Hood forces her to write this story as a news article and Vicki reluctantly does. Bruce goes to the Talon to tell Susan the truth, and she admits that she's not attracted to Seth. When Seth comes to pick her up, she tells him that she can't go out with him, but when he touches her, she suddenly changes her mind. He takes her to the fair. It's closed, and he uses his power to open the gate. Susan is amazed but not scared. They ride the Ferris wheel together. Bruce has followed them, and when he hears Susan laughing, he thinks she's screaming, and presses a button that puts the Ferris wheel to a stop. Susan and Seth are annoyed that he is "stalking" them, and leave. The next day at school, Bruce approaches Seth and tells him that he thinks Seth is controlling Susan. He warns him to stay away from her, but Seth is not intimidated. Vicki publishes the article about her mother's past, humiliating the Vale family and making everyone angry at Vicki. Vicki then justifies that she had her reasons and refuses to tell them why. Susan is waiting for Bruce in Wayne Manor and tells him that she heard he told Seth to stay away from her. Bruce tries to convince her that Seth is dangerous, but she refuses to listen. She makes it clear to him that who she dates is none of his business. Later, Seth convinces Susan that they should leave Gotham forever, and she agrees to get some money. Harvey and Elizabeth, while continuing to butt heads with Richard Daniels over the bank being affiliated with the Falcones, find out Susan withdrew all funds from her account. They talk to her and she refuses to listen to them. She rides off with Seth in a brand new yellow Mustang. Harvey tells Bruce about her uncharacteristic behavior and calls the sheriff. Gordon and Arnold manage to catch up to them in a high speed chase. They drive into the tar and get stuck. Seth jumps onto a passing milk truck just as Gordon catches up and arrests Susan.

They are planning to slip out of Smallville on one of the trucks that will take the carnival rides out of town tomorrow. Bruce grabs Seth and throws him across the room. Susan grabs his gun and threatens to shoot Bruce. Seth takes the gun and sends Susan outside. He shoots Bruce and Bruce dodges all the bullets. Seth picks up a coaster car and hurls it at Bruce, pinning him against the wall. Bruce grabs an electrical line and electrifies the coaster car. Seth is pulled off his feet, attracted to the car. When he makes contact, he receives a shock that puts him in a coma. Susan receives community service for her crimes. She is genuinely sorry for her behavior, and she asks her family for forgiveness. Harvey and Elizabeth agree without hesitation, saying they did much worse in the past. At Wayne Manor, Susan apologizes to Bruce, but admits that she appreciated that Seth was honest with her and that she wants to find another relationship like that. The Red Hood later calls Vicki, angry that she betrayed him and demands a sinner to kill or he will target Valeria. Vicki then names Carmine Falcone.
