Annoyed that Salvatore Maroni’s wife Nadia stole his drug business out from under him, Oz Cobb and his crew kidnap their son, Taj. Oz issues an ultimatum to the Maronis, offering to return Taj to them in exchange for the mushrooms used for the drug “Bliss”.

During the exchange, Oz, who has bribed a prison guard to assassinate Sal Maroni and covered Taj with gasoline, kills Taj and Nadia by setting them on fire. However, his plot doesn’t go as planned as Sal Maroni survives the attempt on his life, escaping prison and the fire activates the chemical fire extinguisher destroying most of the Bliss mushrooms.

Meanwhile, Victor is tasked with bringing Oz’s mother Frances to safety while he deals with the failure of his great plan. Vic chooses to hide her in the one place no one would suspect, the flood damaged ruins of Crown Point. When Oz finally arrives to lay low with them, after being shunned by his girlfriend Eve. He’s left with nothing. But it sparks a memory in Oz of when he and his brothers used to have the city as their playground. He brings Vic to a hidden abandoned underground trolley station where he plans to set up his brand new base of operations.

Meanwhile, after the death of all of her family Gia Viti is sent to a children's home and, following hours of torture, Johnny Viti decides to support Sofia bid to head the family after they reminisce about her mother, Isabella Gigante.

Joined by Dr Julian Rush, who has fallen in love with her, Sofia rebrands the family under her mother's name and earns the loyalty of Carmine's men by arguing how they were similarly mistreated and neglected under Carmine's rule.

When Johnny objects to her plans to make peace with Sal Maroni, Sofia executes him, severing the last tie to the Falcone Crime Family. To cement her new place in Gotham she meets with Salvatore Maroni to form an alliance of their families and take over the city. But first they’re going to kill Oz Cobb, the common source of their problems.

Time to go back to Arkham as we discuss The Penguin Episode 4 "Cent'Anni". We chat all about this Sofia Falcone centered episode in spoiler filled detail.

Episode Written by: John McCutcheon

Episode Directed By: Helen Shaver

Under the gunpoint of Nadia Maroni and her men, Oz Cobb pleads for his life, explaining that he was only working with Sofia Falcone to get access to her drug business. But Nadia doesn’t believe him and reveals to Sofia that Oz is the murderer of her brother Alberto. As Victor arrives and saves Oz, Sofia calls Dr Julian Rush to help her.

Sofia recalls the events that led to her time in Arkham State Hospital. Ten years ago after being approached by Summer Gleeson from the Gotham Gazette, Sofia realised her father, Carmine Falcone, could be behind her mothers death and six other women connected to his business. But Sofia tells the reporter she’s investigating the wrong man and leaves the meeting.

When Oz Cobb, her driver at the time, reports the meeting to Carmine, Sofia is brought before the family leader. She tries to have a conversation with her father so he can clear her mind of suspicion but Carmine sends her home with Oz.

But on the way home, the GCPD arrest Sofia for the murder of the Gotham Gazette reporter and all the other women. Due to written letters from her father and most of her leading family members, Sofia is committed to Arkham State Hospital for a six month evaluation ahead of her trial.

Under the watchful eye of Dr Ventris and his assistant Dr. Julian Rush a brutal incarceration follows with Sofia being subjected to a violent beating by another inmate and results in her receiving daily electroshock therapy.

After the six months her brother Alberto tells Sofia that Dr. Ventris has deemed her unfit for trial and she is to remain in Arkham State Hospital. In the present day, now free, Sofia discusses her predicament with Dr Rush, who convinces her she needs a break.

She returns to the Falcone family home and surrounded by all the heads of the family she calls them out for their part in her incarceration. She announces her plans to start a new life as she doesn’t fit into the family anymore.

Late that night, Sofia enacts her plan, using gas to suffocate all the members of her family apart from her most hated rival Johnny Viti. She holds him at gunpoint while they discuss Sofia’s next steps.
