* OutGambitted: Nygma realizes what Butch is up to, and tricks him into thinking that he actually wants to assassinate Penguin, forcing Butch to carry it out. But it turns out he gave Butch a gun full of blanks, thus making him look like a traitor, solidifying his own place as Penguin's right hand, and making Penguin look like a hero again for taking Butch down.
