When Cobblepot is taken into home detention by the FBI, their convoy is attacked by Tess and his men. Most of the agents are killed except for one, a federal judge named Allan Welles, the one who approved of Bilal's request to grant Cobblepot immunity, slaughters Tess and his men with an axe. Meanwhile, Dick and Luke try to stop an arms shipment performed by a smuggler named Tiger Shark. During the first fight, Tiger Shark almost drowns Dick, but Dick manages to survive and swim back to land.

As Tiger Shark is being arrested, Davies demands to know who he was smuggling the guns for, however, Tiger Shark refuses to tell him and mentions how "it's at the tip of the iceberg".

mercenaries who were about to sabotage a factory owned by Wayne 
Enterprises. While the mercenaries are being interrogated, all of them 
are killed by a woman named Lady Vic, who is working for Rupert Thorne. As
 it turns out, Lady Vic is actually Lady Elaine Marsh-Morton, a 
descendant from a long line of British soldiers and mercenaries, and a 
genuine English aristocrat. The money she earns from her secret career 
helps prevent foreclosure on her impoverished family estate. As it turns
 out, the mercenaries were contracted by Thorne since Lucius Fox, 
the CEO of Wayne Enterprise, refused to do business with him. Thorne wanted the mercenaries killed out of fear that they would talk. Soames,
 who is infiltrating the organization, finds out that Blockbuster offers
 to pay her fee, with a retainer to continue working for him. 
Thorne then decides to teach Fox a lesson by killing his son who is
 a police officer. As Robin, Dick saves Luke from Lady 
Vic only to have lots of cuts on him. Luke then sews Dick back to 
together with a thread and needle when Dick gets to his apartment. Robin catches Lady Vic
 when she tries to kill Luke again and defeats her. When Lady Vic is 
being arrested by Amy, she escapes and steals her car, promising that 
she will kill Robin again. Meanwhile, news of Cobblepot is taken to a hotel that the FBI have seized from Tess, and is kept in Tess' penthouse. News of his release from prison becomes public, prompting protests outside of the hotel and interest from reporters.

Thorne, Duquesne, and Penguin being plotting to takeover Detroit with Cobblepot promising to protect them from charges pressed by the FBI.
4. "Asylum"-Soames learns that before Redhorn was arrested, he was sending criminals to an asylum that does not even exist which is why he decides to investigate this matter.

Dick, Gar, and Victor are captured when they arrive at the asylum by Dr. Adamson, who is orchestrating many unethical experiments. Admanson seems to be heavily against vigilantism which is why he was really desperate and determined to make Dick give up his identity as Robin through many unethical methods. Because Gar was one of the people aside from Vic that found out about his operation, Adamson makes him join Dick through many torturous examinations. Vic finds Rachel's real mother and proves to her that Rachel is her daughter. Taking Rachel's mother with her, Vic frees the others, though Gar is traumatized by having killed Adamson. They escape; Vic burns the asylum down, and Dick burns his Robin suit. Cobblepot gets a file from Adamson on Welles and learns that he was a disturbed individual in his youth. Welles was taught to be 
more empathetic through therapy as he grew up, but appeared to use it as
 a cover for his psychopathic tendencies such as the time he worked for a
 suicide prevention hotline and encouraged a caller to murder someone 
else rather than themselves. It was there that he started working with a woman named Marcia King and fell for her, and now he finds her working at the hotel but 
accidentally reveals that he has been stalking her. Cobblepot sees the 
potential for Welles to become a villain that the public can focus on 
rather than himself.
5. "Adrian Chase"-Chase sets his sights on a man named Leonard Kord, who has no relation to
 Ted Kord, a man who Chase convicted of assault, rape and murder of a nun even though Kord denies it. When Mr. Kord is released from 
prison Vigilante believes it was due to a technicality as well as Kord's coworkers which is why everyone persecutes him. Vigilante beats Mr. Kord in front of his wife and mother without mercy until Dick arrives in his civilian identity to subdue him. Dick later tells Vigilante that Kord was actually 
Innocent of the crime and that it was not a technicality. Dick is also revealed to have figured out Chase was Vigilante and threatens to tell Tiffany unless Chase gave it up. Chase agrees to it in order to avoid making the same mistake again. Meanwhile, Welles confronts Cobblepot, who confirms that he was behind Marcia's hiring at 
the hotel, and that he had intended to show Welles that life with Marcia was
 not going to work; she wouldn't understand Marcia, but Cobblepot does after killing Tabitha Galavan for murdering his mother. Distraught over Marcia, Welles decides to go on a walk to clear his head and coincidentally sees Adrian disposing his Vigilante costume. 
6. "Crossing The Line"-When a group of teenagers are coming home for the night after a concert, they get ambushed by a street gang who attempts to hurt them for fun. Vigilante arrives and kills the gang members as well as accidentally gunning down some of the teenagers. Vigilante then coldly dismisses that to be collateral damage. As it turns out, this is a night mare that Adrian has been having. When Adrian turns on the news, he gets shocked to discover that this actually happened. Welles is revealed to have secretly adopted the Vigilante identity. His mental 
instability led him to gun down not only criminals, but also police 
officers and innocents which pleases Cobblepot. Adrian tells Tiffany about the nightmares that he has been having and fears that he may be going through a mental breakdown. Tiffany begs Adrian to turn himself in, however, Adrian refuses feeling if he does that, then he will never have a life and that he didn't plan on being Vigilante forever. Dick and Luke make plans to bring down Vigilante after Vigilante kills a police officer named Wally Jackson during an attempt to catch him. Luke shows Dick a costume that he has been working on for him and Dick takes it as well as the two escrima sticks that Luke made for him out of unbreakable polymer. The suit comes with several gadgets that Dick had when he was Robin. Dick goes after Vigilante only to almost get killed by him. Enraged, Dick attacks Adrian when Adrian is preparing dinner at his house for Tiffany. Dick and Adrian fight each other with Adrian showing restraint and Dick being brutal as usual. Luke then arrives to tell Dick and Adrian that while they were fighting, Vigilante attacked a police precinct to kill a mobster that the police already had in custody, making Dick realize that Adrian is innocent. Dick apologizes to Adrian and goes looking for the impostor, however, Chase asks Dick to let him find out who the new Vigilante is since Chase feels responsible for the new threat to Detroit.

"For Better or For Worse"-Lucius Fox (Billy Dee Williams) informs Luke and Tiffany about how their young sister, Tamara Fox, went missing after school which is why Gordon and the G.C.P.D. are working around the clock to find them.
