Lola was accosted by a purse snatcher, but then she spotted the Iceberg Lounge and thought it looked like a nice place. Not having a reservation, she pretended to know Oswald because she saw his name on a wall plaque. That got her inside and also Oswald's attention, and he took an immediate liking to her. However, as he attempted to make her acquaintance, Arnold and Scarface wanted to talk to Oswald so he invited both to a more private area of the club. Once there, Oswald tried to quickly finish his business with Arnold and Scarface, who was looking for work, but Arnold and Scarface managed to creep out Lola in the process so she left for the bathroom. Once he got rid of them, Oswald was delighted that Lola hadn't left entirely and finished getting to know her, offering her a tour of the city later.

Money Doesn't Grow On Trees
Lola Marks, Pamela Isley - Poison Ivy, Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin

SPOILER: Click to show

Lola arrived somewhat ahead of Oswald at Poison Ivy's cell in the asylum. The two women introduced themselves, and Lola quickly decided that it must be unfair that Poison Ivy was there when she was told of the reasons. Though when Lola indicated that Oswald was trying to get her out of the asylum, Poison Ivy didn't want that. In fact, when Oswald arrived and spoke of it himself, Poison Ivy was more concerned that Lola was hanging out with Oswald without knowing who the rogues were, prompting Lola to wonder what they were talking about. Oswald distracted Poison Ivy by showing her a photo of the plant from Jonathan's hideout, and they quickly agreed to tell each other what they knew about it. But Oswald got the better end of the deal, as he hardly knew anything about it and Poison Ivy knew a lot - she mainly didn't know where to find it.

Lola spotted a man with a camera at the lounge and went to investigate. She found Victor reluctantly taking pictures, not thrilled by that particular assignment. He took Lola's picture and both of them got the feeling that the other looked familiar. After comparing notes on where they'd lived and who they knew, it turned out that Victor's mother had mentioned Lola's father before, but Lola's father was famous so that could have meant anything.

An Unusual Collection
Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin, Lola Marks

SPOILER: Click to show

Oswald picked up Lola for a date, taking her to an abandoned-looking factory. Going through a secret elevator, he took her down into the basement, where he kept his secret, private collection of items relating to rogues and vigilantes. He explained to Lola that Batman and the rest of the vigilantes were people who took the law into their own hands and beat up people they thought were doing something wrong, while the rogues were the people trying to stop them. He admitted that the rogues were an unruly bunch and that someone might try to use her against him, but he reassured her that he would save her and that the worst of the things that others might say about him weren't true. Lola found all of this troubling, but saw him as a victim and fighter in this situation and found that very attractive.

Different Pearls For Different Paws
Lola Marks, Selina Kyle - Catwoman

SPOILER: Click to show

Lola was out shopping when she saw Selina looking at jewelry. They introduced themselves, as they both knew of each other but hadn't met yet. Lola assumed that Selina and Lex must be together given how closely she was working with him, but Selina quickly corrected her. Lola thought it was weird that Selina worked when she was pretty enough to not have to.

Selina and Lex took one last look to ensure that the preparations for the gala were complete, and Lex gifted Selina with jewelry to complete her outfit. Then they stood at the doorway to welcome their guests. Babs snuck some champagne and was called out on it by Thorne, but Renee helped her hide from her father. Edward confronted Summer about the papers she'd taken, only to be unsuccessfully interrupted by Vicki and successfully by Roy, who punched Edward in the gut and got escorted out. Charlotte lost Selina in the crowd, avoided Kory, and ran into Harvey. Rooster flirted with Gordon. Rowdy flirted with Zahira. Bivins flirted with Diana. Rooster discussed alcohol with Lex. Oswald introduced Lola to Edward. Piper met Elise. Talia arrived late and greeted Lex and Selina. And finally, the next phase of the gala began.

Metropham Gala: Brave New World
Selina Kyle - Catwoman, Thomas Blake - Catman, Harvey Bullock, Helena Bertinelli - Huntress, Summer Gleeson, Charlotte Geier, Edward Nigma - The Riddler, Barbara Gordon - Batgirl, Rooster Stone, Piper Hill, Rowdy Yates - Rapport, Vicki Vale, Lola Marks, Diana Prince - Wonder Woman, Leo Bivins, Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin, Kory Anders - Starfire, Roy Harper - Arsenal, Zahira Ormarr - Black Serpent, Joan Leland, Victor Sage - The Question, Elise Noble, Jeremiah Arkham, James Gordon, Nathaniel Arkham, Bruce Wayne - Batman, Dick Grayson - Nightwing, Iris Ledford, Renee Montoya, Carmine Falcone, Lex Luthor

SPOILER: Click to show

Bivins was surprised that his attempt to flirt with Diana succeeded, but then everyone was called to be seated for the dinner. At Table 1, Jeremiah and Gordon made polite conversation until they were joined by Bruce and Diana. Diana had to remind Bruce that he was at the gala with her because he was too distracted by worrying about Selina. At Table 2, Roy and Joan attempted to make pleasant conversation as the rest of the table were couples. Kory and Dick talked pleasantly with everyone, and Iris and Nathaniel fawned over each other. At Table 3, Babs was drunk and Charlotte was both appalled by this and took an instant dislike to Piper. The feeling was mutual. Piper chose to talk to Bivins instead, and both Elise and Renee were slow to arrive. At Table 4, Rooster shared her booze with Rowdy, who flirted with Lola even though she was clearly with Oswald. Rowdy spilled a drink trying to share the booze with Oswald, so Rooster took it back from him. Oswald treated Rowdy like he was nobody important. Rooster tried to encourage everyone to tell jokes, with slight success. Zahira just tried to remain unnoticed while Vicki tried to keep Rowdy corralled while casting jealous looks at Table 1. At Table 5, everyone awkwardly agreed that Selina had put them together on purpose. Harvey was tipsy but happy. Edward didn't cause any problems. Thomas and Helena made so many eyes at each other that Summer felt awkward sitting between them and offered to trade even though they insisted that they weren't together. After giving everyone a chance to get started on their meal, Lex gave a long, ego-driven presentation about how Gotham was horrible, but Metropolis had been horrible until he fixed it up so, of course, he could fix Gotham too. He explained some of his plans, and Selina offered a comparatively brief statement of support.

SPOILER: Click to show

Despite the risks involved, Oswald put out an open invitation to poker night at his mansion. Edward, Poison Ivy, and Black Mask arrived first, the latter being quite a surprise to everyone because Roman was known to be dead. VerMillion and Catwoman arrived as well, but Edward immediately objected to VerMillion's presence. Poison Ivy and Black Mask both dismissed Edward's complaint. Lola arrived just before the Joker made his grand entrance, followed closely by Two-Face who also made a mess. Bivins arrived and tried to blend in while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. VerMillion recognized Black Mask for who he was and greeted him with kisses, confusing everyone but that didn't stop Edward from grabbing her and putting a gun to her head. Poison Ivy immediately threatened Edward, causing him to let VerMillion go again. Summer, undercover as a server, began helping with drinks. Oswald encouraged everyone to turn their attention to the poker game, though when Lola expressed an interest in Summer's pearls he told Summer to hand them over.

Edward invited Oswald and Lola to his place for dinner. Oswald knew Edward was up to something and urged him to cut to the chase. Edward told him that the press had gotten into this business, and offered to bargain for the details. This made Oswald so angry that Lola went to the bathroom. Edward wanted the favor he owed Oswald to be forgiven and for Oswald to not kill the person in exchange for telling him who it was.
