Synopsis for "Son of Penguin, Part 4"

Barbara meets the Penguin. Cobblepot claims his son Ethan started a riot at the Iceberg Lounge that night. Seeing he cannot get his father's praise, he seeks to destroy him.

Batgirl looks into the riot. She deduces Ethan is incredibly skillful at manipulating people's emotions and actions through social media, making his actions seem random incidents in no way connected with him. Barbara goes to meet Ethan up, intending to break up with him, but Ethan sent an employee of his to dump her.

Richard Grayson (Nightwing) calls Barbara to warn her that someone has been uploading to social media pictures of a meeting between her and the Penguin. Babs and Dick go out, and Barbara notes Ethan is trying to undermine both his father and Batgirl by using those photos. Ethan is using social media to carry forward a massive power grab.

The next morning, Barbara, Alysia and Frankie are hanging out together when a car crashes into the coffee shop where they are having breakfast. Barbara investigates and confirms her suspicions: Ethan engineered that "accident" to scare her. Barbara suits up, knowing where that angry boy with daddy issues is heading next.

Ethan heads to meet his father and gloating over taking over the Penguin's bussiness. He takes off his clothes, revealing a costume beneath, and declares his name is "Blacksun".
