We are already at the penultimate episode of Batwoman's third season! Crazy to think its only 13 episodes and even crazier that we are already almost done. For us, this season has felt the most put together. We have a clear reason why repeat Gotham villans reaturned, a very good story arc with Poison Ivy and Poison Mary, the one thing left to do, is welcome our new Joker in the form of Marquis Jett! The most interesting part about this synopsis for us and what we see in the preview, Alice is wanting to use the buzzer on herself! If she does, does she regain her old personality? What could this mean in a season 4? Check it out for yourself below:

WHERE IS MY MIND? – Ryan (Javicia Leslie), Sophie (Meagan Tandy) and Jada (Robin Givens) come together to formulate a plan to stop Marquis (Nick Creegan), while Mary (Nicole Kang) seeks to make amends for the harm she did as Poison Ivy.  Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) continues to spiral out of control and contend with her mental demons.  Also starring Camrus Johnson. Eric Dean Stanton directed the episode written by Maya Houston and Daphne Miles (#312). Original airdate 2/23/2022.

Tonight is Camrus Johnson's night! Our very own Luke Fox is joining an elite group of Arrowverse actors that have directed an episode they are in! Just to name a few, Melissa Benoist, David Harewood, Chyler Leigh, David Ramsay, Tom Cavanagh, Caity Lotz and Danielle Panabaker! But focusing in on Gotham, the torment from Poison Ivy and Poison Mary has come to a close. Renee and Pam have gone to Coryana and the Desert Rose may make a big return. How will Safiya welcome Pam? However, we also know that Marquis is going to take his place among Gotham's worst and Batwoman will be the target! Here's what stood out to us:

1. Marquis Escapes: Gotham knows that Batwoman was responsible for the recent rogues coming back. Batwoman rushes to check on Marquis but he’s already fled. Without Luke’s Dad’s AI, the team focuses on finding the original builder of the Joker's toys. Ryan tasks Alice and Mary to find her. Marquis doesn’t know they aren’t bad anymore. Ryan tells Luke and Sophie to lay low so Marquis can target them. Marquis holds a press conference. He is using Wayne Enterprises to fund a better Arkham and thus getting access to the prisoners inside.
2. The Imposter: With Gotham thinking that Marquis is actually some kind of savior, Ryan and team decide they need to find proof he is a murderer. They think Jada might have that proof. After some bad advice, Alice and Mary arrive at Kiki's halfway house. She's moved on according to the house owner, but Alice knows she actually is Kiki. Ryan goes to see Jada. Jada does have the evidence against him. Just then, Victor Zaaz arrives and kills a security guard. Marquis hired Zaaz to kill Jada. 
3. Zaaz Employed: Victor has the evidence, Jada and Ryan at gun point. The evidence is destroyed and Victor has left a note on the Batsignal to summon Batwoman to watch as Zaaz kills Jada. Victor doesn’t know that Ryan is Batwoman though and he sets an hour time limit. Kiki agrees to fix the buzzer. She has spent a decade trying to better herself and Alice can’t understand why. Jada reveals that she kept Ryan away to protect her not to abandon her. Victor says the time has run out and just before he can kill Jada, Ryan tells her to duck and she takes him out. Showing this level of skill, Jada can’t help but realize Ryan is Batwoman.
4. Joker’s Laboratory: Kiki takes Alice and Mary to an old Joker hideout. Alice and Mary both struggle to see themselves in Kiki. She was able to change. Mary is at the start of that journey, and Alice never thought change was possible. Batwing and Sophie break into Wayne Tower and get Lucious’ AI back. They see Marquis’ laptop and see an opportunity. Ryan and Jada have a moment where Jada realizes her mistakes. Sophie and Luke discover that Marquis has been talking with Kiki and Kiki isn’t as healed as she seems. She had repaired the buzzer and it has one last use. But then Marquis’ goons arrive to capture Mary and Alice.
5. Lies Around: Marquis walks in on Sophie and Batwing. Kiki reveals her psychologist was Harley Quinn and she is happy to be back working for a Joker. Marquis sends his goons to take out Mary and Alice and he will deal with Batwing and Sophie. But Sophie and Batwing aren’t as helpless as they seem. The Batteam begins to battle on both fronts. Kiki uses the fight to slip away.

In the last moments of the episode, Batwoman tells Jada that Marquis now has the buzzer. Jada tells Ryan that she did love her and wanted to be more for her. She is so proud of Ryan now dressed as Batwoman. Luke speaks with his father’s AI and gets the praise he deserves. Marquis reunites with Kiki and they are in a Joker bunker with many rejects from Joker’s past. Mary goes to visit Alice. Mary even packed a go bag for Alice. Alice says to Mary that she doesn’t want to be Alice anymore. Alice wants to use the buzzer on herself. Ryan and Sophie share a kiss at the bar and Ryan lets Sophie in. Check out a preview for the next all new episode, after a two week hiatus, below:

It's become a bit of a tradition in the arrowverse! Actor's graduating to become a director for an episode! Sueprgirl's Melissa Benoist has done it, Chyler Leigh has done it, and perhaps more over, David Harewood and David Ramsay have done several. In Fact David Ramsy directs around the Arrowverse often. That said, it's exciting to welcome another director to the club and that director is our very own Luke Fox aka Camrus Johnson! In the gallery for the 11th episode this season or the third to last episode, we are getting a closer look at Batwoman's take on a second Joker and have a few behind the scenes images featuring Camrus directing!

Batwoman has hinted at toxic relationships in the past even calling Renee and Pamela's relationship toxic. We are thinking this is going to place Renee and Pamela at odds yet again. That said, there are now two Poison Ivys and it would seem that their power grew together rather than one taking it all back? We'll have to wait to see what's in store for Mary. The other big elephant in the room is that Sophie kissed Ryan showing Sophie's feelings for her. How will Ryan deal with this new found love? And always the wild card, what will happen when Marquis wakes up? Will Jada have time to save him or does he take the upper hand? Here's what stood out to us:

1. Mentorship: Pamela takes Mary under her wing. She teaches her how to control her powers and Mary targets an insurance claim denier to punish. We learn that Mary and Pamela’s bond seems to be sharing the power and passing the burden of it between them. Alice arrives to tell the team Mary is with Pamela and that they need to go after Renee to get to Pamela. Alice and Ryan get the drop on Renee and catch her escape and Pamela reveals that her big plan is to bring down Gotham River’s dam.
2. Renee Interrogated: Luke calls in Sophie to help and Ryan is visibly awkward. The bat signal is turned on and it’s Jada Jett. She bargains the Joker buzzer for Marquis’ return. Batwoman agrees. Pamela’s plan is to bring down the dam and Mary isn’t ok with it. She liked owning her power but killing so many people in Gotham is her breaking point. Pamela won’t force her to do it but instead, it looks like she steals Mary’s power back.
3. Mary is Found: Batwoman is forced to make a choice between paying Jada back or going after Mary and she employs Alice to drive the Batmobile so Ryan can be free to get Mary back. Alice and Batwoman listen in on Renee’s interrogation while driving. Ryan gets more information on Sophie liking Ryan! Meanwhile, Batwoman opens the roof of the Batmobile and jumps onto the ambulance. She is able to get Mary out and free from the ambulance. While Mary is unconscious Alice tells Batwoman that Mary killed the hunter in the forest due to her inaction and thorn stab. 
4. Sapling Mary: The vine that created Mary was made from Pamela. Renee speaks on Palmela’s behalf that she genuinely cares for Mary but finding Mary in her weakened condition means that Pamela might have taken all her power. Pamela needs Mary to survive and draw power from. Team Batwoman and Alice try to convince Mary to help them against Pamela. Ryan tells Mary that she killed someone. As a doctor, that is the worst thing you can do, even if she wasn’t a doctor, but that seems to get through to Mary. Back at the dam, Pamela kills more workers as she is making progress on bringing it down. 
5. Pamela and Mary: Mary arrives and sees Pamela using too much of her strength to the point she might kill herself. Mary is the only person that Pamela trusts. Mary offers to give Pamela a power boost. The plan works and Pamela is left weakened but not powerless. Batwoman does her best to take on this version of Poison Ivy. Batwing also goes because he’ll need to try and stabilize the damn. He is attacked in the suit but is able to calm himself which allows the suit to work fully. Batwoman and Batwing are victorious and stop Pamela and save the damn. They gather up a barely breathing Mary and head home. 

In the final wrap up moments of the show, Mary is returned to normal. No more Ivy powers. Of course Mary is quick to blame herself for killing someone but Ryan quickly points out that it was Poison Mary not Mary. Pamela wakes up on a plane with Renee. Renee bets her relationship on Pamela’s love. Renee got a deal for Pamela’s safety. Turns out Pamela and Renee are going to Coriana! Jada plants a story that all the flashback killers are a result of Batwoman’s negligence. The city might turn on her and we hear that the dam broke. The incoming water has awakened Marquis.
