## Plot

Robin takes down the Mutants leader Vernon Wagner by improvising a taser and leaving him for the police where credit was given to them by Mayor Hamilton Hill. Stephanie runs into Brody who has been absolved of the charges and his parents Lincoln March and Rebecca March "punish" him by having him come to the upcoming Founders Gala. While Cullen poses as a police officer from the Somerset District's precinct to access the files on Alan Wayne's murder, Turner follows Robin to one of the Mutants' warehouses and saves her from a Mutant. They find that the Mutants have built a gas bomb following a raid on Ace Chemicals that ended with them blowing up a GCPD airship. At the Gala, Stephanie interacts with Brody's family who then meet with Mayor Hill and Harvey Dent. After Stephanie sneaks away after receiving a warning from Turner, the Mutants led by their lieutenant attack the gala and hold everyone hostage. They will detonate a chemical bomb if Wagner is not released while also looting the attendees. While Turner, Duela, Harper, and Robin sneak in and fight the Mutants, Mayor Hill gives in to the demands and orders for Wagner to be released. As Stephanie and Harper work to disarm the poison gas bomb which will be set off anyway, Turner gets Harvey alone and begs him to trust him about the Mutants' other goal. While Robin and Duela take out the other Mutant members, Harvey subdues the Mutant Lieutenant. Stephanie disarms the bomb, which upsets Harper as she wanted to do it her way. Though the Mutants members are arrested, Wagner is still free. As Turner's group reads the files about Alan Wayne's murder, Duela finds that some of the loot she recovered has watches that have the Court of Owls' symbols on the back of them. Turner tells Robin that they will get Wagner next time. The next day, Dent announces his candidacy for Mayor of Gotham City as Mayor Hill is killed in a poison gas-rigged limousine set up by the Court of Owls.
