This episode is really interesting as it not only focuses on "the villain of the week", but also the bigger picture and tension between the Crime Famalies and the possible upcoming war between Falcone and Maroni. They are going tit for tat on each other, trying to one up themselves in who can do as much damage to the other without killing them and it is really brilliant to see the depths they go to .
Edward Nygma is starting to creep from the shadows and we can start to see a very Riddler-esk style to him and finding it fascinating when things turn quite grizzly. I am also really enjoying the Penguin's rise through the ranks of Maroni's inner circle and think this will be an exciting lead to battle.
I do like the "Viper" drug and love how the episode is foreshadowing the arrival of "venom" and Bane. As for other aspects of the episode, it was a pretty firm job as is starting to pick up a fast pace rhythm that is doing a great job at characterisation. I personally love the scene with the Crime Family meeting together and can't wait to see how long it takes before they turn on each other.
Overall I think this episode is great and is part of the reason I am hooked to this series. The ending scene is also pretty cool, as it shows a nice side to Falcone (proves there is humanity to everyone deep down.)
