We close out tonight’s episode with the news re-showing all the Not-Joker highlights whilst a montage of viewers are shown giggling along with him, with random stabbings.  Either something’s in the water or they just wanted to say “Yeah, well HE wasn’t the real Joker, but maybe he inspired him…?” I guess :/

Ciel/Theo gloating over his new found “Hero of Gotham” Facebook status “Poor Not-Joker though” - Babs “Eh, he had such compelling character but limited.  He would never last long” - Ciel/Theo He’s just jealous.  Speaking of: Babs start macking on Ciel/Theo while a jealous Tabby watches on.  For whom?  You decide!

And then Jim calls back to an earlier part of the ep where DrGirlfriendLee made him kiss her so he would stop being depressed and has her kiss him so that Alfy can see.  What is this, prom?

And to close out the night Alfy’s like “I hope we get to see more of you DrGirlfriendLee” while Jim is standing right next to her going “WHHHHHAAAAA?”

Thankfully BatWingMan swoops in again to save the day!

Back at the scene, Ciel/Theo does the handshake around and gets everyone’s “If you need just let us know”

So Bullock decided to stop by Pen Pen’s place and mocks him for being Fish’s old umbrella man.

Meanwhile, Pen Pen is watching this on TV from his Godfather chair “See it’s someone like that who has no plans of building things.”

Babs is just sitting there watching for a second and then looks up with a “Oh sh**!” look and bolts.  She seriously escapes by jumping into a magic box and disappearing.

So then Ciel/Theo pops up (he’d gotten conked on the head by Babs) and is all “I said enough!” and stabs Not-Joker in the neck.  Looks like for realsies.

So Baby Bruce runs up to Alfy and whispers “Here’s a gat!  Jim’’s behind the curtains!” “Go check behind the curtain” - Not-Joker Dude goes to check and Jim pops out with a BLAMO to the face! Let the shoosting begin!

As a side note, the kid playing Baby Bruce does a pretty awesome job as a child actor.  2 points kid!

So Not-Joker calls out for Baby Bruce to step forward (he’s hiding just behind the curtains across the room).  When he doesn’t show, Babs is like “Kill his butler”.  So Baby Bruce is all like “I’mma go out there!” and the Jim swoops in and is like “... no”

So they’re already setting up Proto-Catwoman as Tabby.  Are they trying to make Babs into Proto-Harley Quinn?  She plays the psycho, giggling, ditsy Lovely Assistant a little too well.

Unrelated, Babs is totally stoned.  She decides to chat up DrGirlfriendLee while she’s tied up. “I’m gonna make a prediction.  Within a year, Jim and I will be back together.  You know why?” - Babs Because the future of Batgirl unfortunately depends on it?
