Synopsis for "Rise of the Villains: Mommy's Little Monster"

Butch leads Penguin to the location of his mother, where Theo Galavan and Tabitha Galavan are waiting. Now cured of his "programming", Butch betrays Penguin and Theo Galavan murders his mother, though Penguin manages to escape, vowing to kill Theo in revenge.

Galavan, now elected mayor, convinces the GCPD and the public that Penguin assaulted him, and Galavan has Harvey Dent obtain a warrant for Penguin's arrest. Gordon begins to suspect that Galavan is framing Penguin and tracks down Butch. In an interrogation during a shoot out, Butch reveals that Theo has been blackmailing Penguin, and that he murdered Penguin's mother in front of him. Later that night, Theo attends a public gathering in which the GCPD are secretly stationed, ready to capture Penguin if he arrives. Penguin and his henchmen do show up and Penguin is quickly ambushed by Gordon. Theo attempts to convince Gordon to shoot Penguin, but once again Penguin escapes. Gordon informs Theo that he is determined to expose his corruption.

Elsewhere on the roof of the party, Tabitha murders a member of the GCPD strike force. Following the death of Kristen Kringle, Edward Nygma's mental state worsens as his split personality attempts to convince him that he enjoys getting away with murder, to which both of his personalities merge.
