** An unintentional example. Bullock nearly ruins Nygma's plan to distract the soldiers when he provides a correct answer to his Riddle.
** Gordon turned out to be one for Walker's plans. She had been close to convincing the government to let her send Eduardo and his team into Gotham to eliminate all criminal threats when Gordon set up Haven. Thinking that Walker had exaggerated the threat level, the government was set to ''finally'' send in supplies when she ordered Nygma to destroy Haven.
* TrailersAlwaysLie: The promo showed Hugo Strange operating on Eduardo in order to turn him into Bane. The actual episode does not show this though Walker says that it will take place soon.
