The first season of Gotham comes to a close on Channel 5 tonight, as Gotham City’s gang war reaches its boiling point. Fish Mooney goes head-to-head with Maroni and Penguin in an attempt to re-stake her claim on the city. Meanwhile, Barbara and Leslie Thompkins are brought together after recent events, and Bruce searches Wayne Manor for any hints that his father might have left behind.
