Through the Looking-Glass Recap
3/22/2020 4:53 pm
With everything going on in the world today, it's nice to step back and have a little Batwoman to help us de-stress and go to another place. We hope everyone is feeling healthy and safe during this viral outbreak. Someone who isn't feeling fine is Kate. After last episode, Kate broke Batman's number one rule. All the things that Cartwright did to Kate's family was simply too much to forgive. Kate snapped and as we heard Alice say, "Congratulations Daddy, now both your daughters are murderers". Let's see how this twisted family reunion went in tonight's all new episode:
- Burying Cartwright: The Kanes are picking up right where we left off. They are all working to bury Kate's victim. Alice celebrates her sister and Kate laments her choice. Alice uses the moment of distraction to take Jacob's gun and she is able to run off. Jacob says Kate should let killing Cartwright go but Kate continues to struggle. Dressed as Batwoman, Kate finds herself taking busting criminals a little too far. Back at the Batcave, Luke discovers the new trial for his father's killer has been moved up to today. Jacob still needs to hunt down the mole in the Crows and he gets Sophie to help investigate. Alice, using the leverage over Kate she now has, gets Kate to help her hunt down a person from Alice's past who has killed all of Alice's Wonderland gang.
- Finding Mouse: Alice and Kate head to former doctors' offices that Mouse was treated by. They believe that Mouse is heading to kill all those that might have treated him. Alice and Kate go undercover and await Mouse at his former psychiatrist's house. Investigating for Jacob, Sophie runs into Julia Pennyworth who has gotten word there is a hit out on Sophie. She saves Sophie's life by pulling her down before being hit by a sniper. We then catch Mouse making his way to the doctor's house. She has called the Crows who sweep in and take him to Arkham. Kate and Sophie have to fight their way out so not to be seen by the Crows.
- Arkham Asylum: Mouse is taken to Arkham and two keys are needed to open the cell to get him out. Alice continues to use her leverage over Kate to break out Mouse from Arkham. We cut to the courtroom where Luke and Mary hear that Luke's Dad's Killer will get a new trial and is set free until the trial can commence. Stuck in a sisterly struggle, Kate and Alice stop fighting and Alice offers Kate absolution. A thank you for killing "Beth's" tormentor. Kate is only worried because she doesn't feel guilt over the murder. She is only afraid of becoming like Alice. She agrees to help Alice break Mouse out as long as she can trust Alice. No killing, no one dies, those are Kate's terms.
- Breaking Out Mouse: Setting a decoy at the front gates of Arkham allows Alice and Kate to get into the facility. Kate reminds Alice of her promise and the two sisters split to get the keys to open Mouse's cell. Julia is being treated at Mary's facility when Mary walks in and begins to assist in patching up Julia's wound. Luke goes to confront his father's killer but what he finds is a person who very much feels he is innocent. He starts to tell his truth and Luke is amazed and starts to believe him that he didn't kill Lucius. Just then, whoever is covering their tracks and targeting Sophie takes out the recently freed convict. Luke attempts to save him from what looks like a shot to the heart!
- Jailbreak: Alice keeps her word surprisingly and doesn't kill. The director does hit the panick button which puts the whole asylum on alert. The sisters, now with keys in hand, open the cell and Alice rushes to Mouse's side. Kate, pulls the biggest doublecross we've ever seen. She traps Alice in Mouse's cell. Kate and Jacob standing on the otherside of Alice's new cell say they can't let Alice hurt anyone else again. Alice experiences her worst fear all over again, Kate and Jacob leave Alice.
In the final wrap up moments, Jacob praises Kate for her courage and her service. Jacob tells Kate that he moved the body so Alice can't threaten her anymore. Kate feels horrible but turns to her father for help and comfort. Luke heads to Mary's where he starts to hear more of the story and plot against his father. Julia and Sophie head to a safehouse where they can continue to look into Lucius's murder. Sophie goes to call Jacob and let him know about the murders when a sniper opens fire on Jacob. Jacob is able to take him out but is left with more questions than answers. Kate sits on the edge of her balcony when Julia arrives. Julia comforts Kate and they kiss on the edge of the balcony.

There is a lot to unpack with these thirteen new images from this week's all new episode of Batwoman. From the synopsis earlier, we were wondering how something like this could be possible: "Kate (Ruby Rose) begins to question her instincts", but now with the events of last week's episode, we can certainly understand the head space Kate is in. Additionally from the images below, it looks like Luke's father's killer is getting a new trial and Luke and Mary will be there to witness. Check out the images below:

Off With Her Head Recap
3/15/2020 6:00 pm
One of the best things we think that Batwoman is doing is really showing the horrors and torment that Beth went through to become Alice. It takes a lot to turn a sibling that you know and love and turn them into the villain that Alice is. Tonight's all new episode continued to show us a bit of the history that Beth experienced. On top of that, we had Mouse and Alice in a very rough position with the fear toxin. Just what the outcome will be from this? Let's find out together, here's our recap:
- Cartwright Delivered: Alice has left a knocked out and messed up Cartwright at the steps of the Batwoman signal. Kate brings him down and takes him to her bar where she invites her father to visit him. She tempers his reaction by offering her dad a drink and makes him promise not to kill Cartwright. We then jump to Alice who has found Mouse and released him from his fear toxin prison. We learn that the house they are in is "The Queen's House". This turns out to be Cartwright's mother. At this stage in time, Beth has fully committed to her Alice persona.
- A Mouse Turned: After sitting in the fear toxin chair for a long while, Mouse is freed by Alice but he turns on her. All that fear toxin made him believe that Alice was what he feared most. He attacked her and put her into the chair and started filling her with the fear toxin.
- A Lead on a Killer: At Mary's clinic, Luke meets up with Mary who has been seeking a lead on Beth's killer. Mad Dog, a local man who needed help from Mary, gives a lead that Mary takes Luke to. They head off to the junk yard. We cut to Cartwright who is leveraging his freedom over giving the location of where Alice is being tortured. If she doesn't get an adrenaline shot soon, whatever the toxin's effect will become permanent. In the flashbacks, we see how Mommy Dearest would beat and torment the girl. The old lady wanted to abuse her because Alice reminded her of who she was. Cartwright claims it was her who made Alice the monster. In order to get his final revenge, Cartwright slashes his own neck as not to give up Alice's location.
- Fear Toxin Accelerates: Luke and Mary find the gun that killed Beth in the trunk of a car that the lead at the clinic gave. Just then, Mary gets a call from Batwoman and she counsels her on how to close Cartwright's neck. He is saved rather ... unorthodox-like. We then check in on Alice who is continuing to lose her mind. This insight into her mind shows us her fears of Mommy Dearest, of being abandoned and not being enough for her family to find her. Kate cuts a deal with Cartwright for the location and she sends her dad to check out if the lead is true. Jacob arrives in time to stop Alice from killing herself. For the first time in her life, Alice is saved and found by her father.
- Mommy Dearest: The torturous truth comes out. Mommy Dearest, Cartwright's mother wanted Alice and Beth's mother's face. He kept her head in a refrigerator. When Alice finally learned the truth to the head and the earrings, she sets the old woman on fire and her death is hailed as an accident in a house fire. Alice's plan, however, does seem to come to fruition. Kate can't handle the stories that Cartright is telling her. He is the one person who has done all of this to Kate. She ends up killing Cartwright in the heat of passion.
In the final wrap up moments, Alice and Kate share a drink outside the bar. Alice takes a sip and says "We'll need more of this with the night we've got ahead". Kate asks why, to which Alice replies, "bodies don't bury themselves". The episode ends on Kate who has now killed someone and the Kane family reunited in this dark scene.
