It's the Poison Ivy of it all! We knew that when Batwoman was going to take on new Batman villains, we were going to get different variations of some of Gotham's worst. Even last season we got a messed up version of Bane. To date, we've seen a new Mad Hatter, Killer Croc, Freeze Tech, and some form of Poison Ivy. While all the previous villains have taken on the mantle of their predecessor, Poison Ivy has selected a member of the Bat team. Our very own Mary Hamilton! That doesn't negate that we will see the original Poison Ivy at some point and since we are coming up on the seasonal hiatus, it could be tonight or next week! Here's what stood out to us:

1. Planted Person: Children in Gotham park play until one discovers a man buried into a beehive and Ivy's vines. Montoya arrives and takes charge. She routes the body to Mary's clinic and Alice is happy to head to help as she knows Ivy's touch has infected Mary and she wants to get there before anyone else. Sophie continues to investigate the attack on her sister and Jada's involvement but Ryan waves her off. At the clinic, Alice suspects Mary as the new Poison Ivy. The patient wakes on the table to accuse Mary of his predicament.
2. Bat Team Meeting: Mary reveals to the team that she thinks she might be the new Poison Ivy. Mary locks herself in the Batcave so that she can't hurt anyone again. Mary goes to Renee to get more info on the Black Glove Society. The Bat team begins to backtrack Mary's actions as Ivy. She was burying people that crossed her.
3. Poison Mary: Mary's combination as the new Poison Ivy and a doctor has given her a leg up to finding those that Mary believes have done wrong. Renee arrives at Wayne Tower to find out what the team learned about Poison Ivy. Alice spills the beans on Renee and Pamela. Renee suspects Ryan is holding out on her but Ryan holds on long enough for Renee to walk away. Ryan returns to the cave to find out that Alice has given Sophie the location of Virgil. Sophie begins her interrogation and torture session and we learn that CEOs of Gotham with problem children have been hiring BGS to assist in correcting and developing behavior fixes. When Ryan arrives to stop Sophie, Virgil kills himself to keep his secrets. Alice uses her time in the Batcave to sow discontent among the team. Poison Mary is triggered via sunlight and knocks out Luke. Mary sets a trap for Renee with Alice's assistance.
4. Gotham Botanical Gardens: Renee arrives to the gardens. Ryan finds Luke knocked out. Mary begins her attack on Renee. Before Renee can use her weapon, Mary uses the vines to take Renee out. Luke and Ryan suit up to go stop Mary and bring her back.
5. Batwing, Batwoman vs Poison Mary: The yellow roses were enough to draw out and confuse Batwoman and Batwing and they were ambushed. Mary confronts Luke and tells him she likes her new powers. She took out the Batwing fail-safe and his father's AI. Batwoman finds her and lets Mary know she's been a bad friend. That said, Mary doesn't care and she makes her escape trapping Batwoman in vines.

In the final wrap up moments, the Bat team returns to the cave to lick their wounds. Ryan's divided attention has segregated Mary from the team and they are paying for it now. Renee finds Sophie at the bar and the two strike up a make up session. Ryan calls in a favor and Alice visits Mary's garden. The pair seem to be working together now.

Hot on the heels of tonight's episode and we already have the new gallery for the 6th episode! We're clearly about to dive in to Poison Ivy's world, if the title is any indication, and from the 7 images, it seems like the rift between the Bat team that the previous episode and some synopses have hinted at is getting deeper. We're sure that Alice will probably be helping to twist the knife, enjoying the chaos that will come. We're also intrigued to get to delve more into Ivy's backstory with Renee. Check out the full gallery below:

A brief moment of silence for our sister site Supergirl.tv as Kara Zor-El and good friend of Kate Kane wrapped her series last night. Moving on, Batwoman's family drama is getting more and more complicated! With the reveal of the Black Glove Society, fondly referred to by Alice as The BGs, Jada's simple business woman running an empire is starting to shift to more criminal. She wanted to freeze her own son. Anyone else getting some major Succession vibes? Not even that show would go so cold as to freeze one of the siblings! Tonight we welcomed a lesson from Professor Pyg! More of the mystery was revealed and more remains in shadow, here's what stood out to us:

1. Odd Couple: Alice is staying at Sophie's place. The two are getting along relatively well when Batwoman arrives. A possible Catwoman trophie was found at a murder scene. It becomes pretty clear that it isn't Catwoman's and Alice is instructed to work the case. Ryan has been working damage control since Wayne Enterprises was accused by Jada of being corrupted. For some reason Jada has invited Ryan to a dinner. With Ryan looking to get something to hold over Jada, she agrees to go and takes Sophie. We learn that Professor Pyg is actually the chef!
2. Struggling Dinner Company: Sophie and Ryan cover their story by claiming to be a couple. Sophie excuses herself to go gather evidence on Jada. Jada is set to make a threat against Ryan but before she can, her son arrives. Sophie's connection to Luke is cut when Jada rounds the corner to find Sophie in her office. Alice is working the case in Renee's office where she discovers Renee's obsession with Poison Ivy. It would seem that Renee want's Ryan and Alice to specifically find her. Back at the dinner, things go off the rails. Ryan's brother's girlfriend seems to be poisoned and is killed by Professor Pyg in the bathroom.
3. Poisoned: The dinner party is all poisoned with some kind of paralyzer. Jada fired the chef, now professor and he is here for revenge. The poison isn't fully in effect for the dinner guests and they are able to slowly get away after stabbing the Professor. Everyone is able to make it to a secret panic room that Jada has. They all seem to be ok and the night is turned into a waiting game but Marquis begins to have a seizure.
4. Pamela Ivy: Renee and Pamela were an item before she was turned into Poison Ivy. Renee is still looking for her. She instructed Batman to bury her alive so to slow her but not kill her. She assumes she'll be back. Alice's visions start back again and she excuses herself. Marquis needs medication from the basement. Jada set's a decoy and Ryan goes for the meds. Sophie confronts Jada about her use of the freeze serum. Ryan makes it to the meds but gets trapped under a shelf when Professor Pyg breaks in.
5. Poison Mary?: Mary is researching the man who was killed with the bullwhip. She seems obsessed with plants and might be under Poison Ivy's influence. Alice asks for Mary's help with her visions. Professor Pyg takes Ryan to the camera to show Jada he has her. Jada comes out in time to stop Ryan's death and the pair begin a fight with Professor Pyg. Marquis is given his medicine and is back awake. He kills Professor Pyg in front of everyone.

In the final wrap up moments, Alice cracks the case and finds out it was Flamingo. Alice and Renee discover that Mary is infected. Ryan goes to confront Jada and we learn that Marquis is a sociopath. He was attacked by the Joker and his behavior changed. Jada wants to freeze Marquis so she can fix him. Check out a preview for next week's all new episode below:

Welcome back Batwoman fans, it looks like we are getting a rare weekend update from The CW this morning/afternoon. The title and synopsis for Batwoman's seventh episode in her third year is titled "Pick Your Poison". The synopsis has us thinking differently than the title. Of course anytime we see poison we are thinking the great poison ivy, but from the synopsis, pick your poison could be referring to pick between two bad situations. The first being the struggle going on in the Bat team with Mary and Luke, the second being with the growing family troubles for Ryan. What stands out the most for us though, who could Alice recruit?

DOUBLE TROUBLE – As Ryan’s (Javicia Leslie) family dynamic grows more complicated, she also finds herself in the middle of a Bat Team stand-off between Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Mary (Nicole Kang).  Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) finds a new sidekick to do her bidding.  Also starring Nick Creegan and Robin Givens.  Holly Dale directed the episode written by Kelly Ota and Emily Alonso (#307).  Original airdate 11/24/21.
