## Synopsis

**"X" MARKS THE SPOT** — After discovering some potential leads in their investigation, Turner and Harper investigate a possible connection between Bruce Wayne's death and the mysterious death of a lawyer. Meanwhile, Carrie and Duela head to a nursing home to question Eunice. At the Belfry, Stephanie opens up to Cullen about her life at home, while Harvey makes an unsettling discovery.

## Plot

In the park, a man named Pericles Jones claims to be hearing voices. Despite a patrol officer's attempts to calm him down, Pericles shoots himself. In light of Mayor Hamilton Hill's death, Lincoln March enters the mayoral race against Harvey Dent as Commissioner Soto leads the investigation into Mayor Hill's death. Turner learns that Pericles, one of Bruce Wayne's lawyers, died with similar wounds like other alleged victims of the Talon, caused by his knife. For Stephanie to get into the police database, Cullen poses as a police officer to plant a device to help them and has an encounter with Harvey. Turner and Harper go to Pericles' house at night and sneak in where they meet his son Titus. He does mention that Pericles acted strangely when meeting Bruce Wayne and turns on the lights to show writing everywhere about the Court of Owls. Comparing the salvaged blade to the one wielded by executed serial killer/former knife thrower Felix Harmon, Carrie and a disguised Duela head to a retirement home near Robinson Park to talk with Felix's daughter Eunice. She mentions a lot of things about her father which starts to creep them out as she recites the Court of Owls poem. As Turner goes to Wayne Manor to speak with Cressida, Stephanie finds a connection between Cressida and the Court of Owls as Cressida pulls a gun on Turner when Stephanie's call tries to warn him. Turner learned from Cressida that she didn't want Turner's plight to happen and she poisoned Bruce with a special poison to slow his reflexes before the Talon killing him. Some of the Court of Owls members led by the Owl Magister show up as its leader offers to make Turner's plight go away. The Talon was also brought in should he resist. Just then, Robin shows up and helps Turner get away where they collapse part of the Batcave onto the Talon. Harvey makes use of the key that was dropped when he ran into a disguised Cullen which unlocks Mayor Hill's limo. Duela reveals that she managed to swipe Eunice's music box. While eliminating Duela's known fingerprints on there, Stephanie finds that the other fingerprints on there are of Felix Harmon which could mean he was the Talon the whole time. The Court of Owls gather around the salvaged and broken Talon as it suddenly heals and pulls itself back together.
