In Gotham season 4 episode 2 “The Fear Reaper” Gordon must work to find the Scarecrow while an old friend shows up with a new business.

Gotham’s fourth season started out with a bang. The Scarecrow has risen, Penguin is running a criminal licensing business, Bruce Wayne is an active vigilante in training, and Jim Gordon is back with the GCPD. With the pieces in place, it’s time to watch how the season will unfold.

Here’s your synopsis of Gotham “The Fear Reaper”:

“Gordon attempts to bring in Jonathan Crane to prove that the GCPD is still powerful; Selina and Tabitha must consider risks that come with joining Barbara in the weapon business.”

It sounds like Barbara Kean is back in Gotham City. I’m sure she’ll explain how she managed to surivive that electrocution in the season finale. Knowing Barbara, it will be quite the tale. But will Tabitha and Selina be willing to partner with her? Selina and Barbara have a very different kind of history than Tabitha has with her. Can they work together, or is that too dangerous for everyone?

And how will Bruce manage to diffuse the situation he found himself in at the end of the season premiere? The problem with dressing in black and finding yourself in the middle of crime scenes is that you look like a criminal.

Gordon has a tall order in hand. With most of the GCPD perfectly happy allowing Penguin to manage crime in Gotham City, Gordon wants to show that the police can still get the job done. Besides, after the fear toxin sent a terrified Penguin into Gordon’s arms for the most importune photo op ever, you can imagine that Penguin will be happy to have the Scarecrow off the streets in any way possible.
