This episode was all about manipulation. Noticing that "brother/sister" thing (do the Galavans ever call each other by their first names?), that group of wild arsoniststs, they called each other brother-sister as well. They were manipulation the little fire fly girl ,as she was kept by the group of brothers to be a servant/slave. Then she had a choice of being turned out into prostitution (something that creeped me out as a very real predictament for some) or do the arsonists call. Selina came to her rescue a little too late, but hopefully the fire fly girl can do something to her brothers. Sort of a thank you very much thing.
Butch. oh poor Butch, Penguin's allie, someone who was real and a friend of sorts to him, then we find out that he was manipulated and conditioned to do Penguin's will.
Penguin is certainly being manipulated into a more evil person as well by the Galavans by them keeping his mother. I wonder if Mrs Cobblepot is already dead.
Chikliss, Gordon and Harvey are quite a team. A group to root for. The 3 Musketeers.
This last epi was an epi of manipulation. Every bad guy was manipulating another bad guy. Good guys and semi good guys were being manipulated into a worse life style. The 3 Musketeers seemed free from this, but Leigh manipulate Jim into a date night with Kringle and Nygma.
Great stuff here.
