Obfuscation
Lex Luthor, Edward Nigma - The Riddler, Mercy Graves

SPOILER: Click to show

Lex and Edward met at the Iceberg Lounge to settle matters after Nina's 'death'. Lex threatened to frame Edward for working with Nina to obtain biochemical weapons, ruining her reputation and greatly increasing the heat on Edward. Edward revealed that he'd already poisoned Lex and offered the antidote as a bargaining chip. Lex proposed trading the antidote and the blackmail Edward had for not carrying out his threat, but Edward wanted reassurance that Lex wouldn't go after him again. Lex essentially promised that he wouldn't if Edward answered one question: Why did he waste his opportunity to blackmail him on Nina? Instead of answering, Edward took the first offer. Lex had the henchman who poisoned him killed.

Checks and Troubles
Lex Luthor, Oswald Cobblepot - The Penguin

SPOILER: Click to show

Lex met with Oswald, asking him what he knew about Jonathan and Edward's dealings with each other. Oswald agreed to tell him if Lex would tell him what he knew about Nina and if he'd take care of Force. They both agreed, so Lex told Oswald about Nina, revealing that he was unaware that his attempt on her life had failed. Oswald happily told him he was wrong, and also told him about the loan Jonathan got so he would have the funding to make the Scarebeast, and Edward paying the loan, but not that it was Oswald himself who provided the loan.

Fear is...
Lex Luthor, Jonathan Crane - Scarecrow

SPOILER: Click to show

Lex happened upon Jonathan laying where Oswald had dumped him. Lex offered to put Batman at Jonathan's mercy, though what Jonathan really wanted was a lab. Jonathan said he could give Lex a demonstration of the Scarebeast. Though when Jonathan got into Lex's limo, Lex drugged Jonathan with a drug called Perception. Taking advantage of the helplessness it initially caused, he took him to an underground lab. The drug forced Jonathan's subconscious to manifest to him as hallucinations, reminding him of important things that he'd forgotten, meant to allow him to reconstruct himself, but when the unfinished drug threatened to kill him it instead caused him to transform into the Scarebeast.

Nina was in the hospital, where Lex was determined to visit her whether she liked it or not. She agreed to talk to him, but his attempts to make any sort of amends fell on deaf ears at first, as she was too angry with him to listen. Though she finally said that she'd feel better about their past if he literally paid for what he'd done, asking for $3 million. He paid that and said he'd cover her hospital bills. He also suggested that they would do good work together, and she reluctantly agreed to let him give her a sales pitch about that once she was more recovered.

Lex Luthor, Nina Stenet

SPOILER: Click to show

Lex met with Nina over a private dinner, wanting to explain his motivations for his past behavior concerning her. He first asked what motivated her work, then showed her the evidence he had that he'd never actually tried to kill her. Though not conclusive, it was compelling enough for Nina to listen as Lex showed her some of what he was working on that he could use her help with. She took an interest in one of his projects, enough to want to help, but insisted on being a consultant and not an employee. He showed her another project, but this was one she didn't want to help with, which led them into a more philosophical discussion about what humanity was prepared to deal with. Nina disagreed with Lex about that but said she was willing to work with Lex to a certain degree and agreed to let him give her a tour.

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.

Both Lex and Selina answered further questions while Marc delivered the wine for the gala. After the press conference ended, Selina gave Aria a tour of the venue, expressing disappointment again that Aria would not be attending the actual event. Lex joined them afterward and got into a philosophical discussion with Aria about the nature of equality. So much so that Selina excused herself and left them to it.

Lex was in Argentina, trying to sell weapons to the corrupt government there during a time of unrest. He met Candace Lloyd, the current daytime guise of Dionisia, at a cafe.

To his surprise, Lex noticed that the explosion contained elements of what he'd been selling to the government, prompting Candance to give him a quick lesson on intrigue. Lex was more interested in the fact that she could give him such a lesson than the lesson itself. They reached the hotel safely and Lex suggested that they could meet for dinner sometime.

Jonathan had no reason to refuse, even if he was skeptical. The only thing that Jonathan asked for immediately, however, was Lex's pen.

They got to know each other a bit, but when Rooster mentioned her horse was fast and Lex mentioned his horse's legs were probably cheating, they decided to race and wagered that the loser would have to work for the winner for an evening, dressed accordingly. However, the race was so close that it was a photo finish, and they didn't have a photo, so they declared it a tie. They continued to ride and chat after that, finding that they had other common interests like crafting things. As the evening drew to a close they exchanged invitations and Lex got picked up by a helicopter.

Rooster was carving up a log with a chainsaw when Lex came for a visit. He gave her a pistol-like device that cut wood using sound waves and invited her out to dinner. She changed, but before she left she showed him the weapons she was working on in her basement. When he complimented her designs, tinkering with one himself to improve it, she didn't resist flirting a little. They went to dinner, where they talked about their families. Afterward, Lex took her to see his workshop, which was extremely futuristic. Lex showed her a device that stimulated the nerves to relieve pain. But when Rooster activated it on accident, it stimulated her in another way and Lex had to deactivate it. She teased him about how long it took him to do so and kissed him. He conjured up a bed for them and they enjoyed their evening.

With thousands of people dead and LexCorp property destroyed by a possibly intelligent swamp after an experiment gone awry, Lex assembled everyone he could to help figure out what to do about it. That included Jonathan, who had brought Heather with him. And Rooster, who had some recommendations about bringing lots of firepower. And Nina, who suggested that they try communicating first. And Talia, who remained silent. And Sivana, who expounded upon the complexities of swamp flora. And David, who suggested trying to remove the intelligent part from the rest of the swamp. And Babs, who was only there as an intern. Lex brought out an experimental module he'd been developing that could help them, and suggested that what they really needed was more information and suggested that they organize into a ground team to go look into the situation while an air support team hung back and took more of a support role. Those assembled began dividing up into teams.

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.

Superman responded, but it took several attempts to figure out how to stop it, and all of his efforts seemed to only slow it temporarily. Until he picked it up, took it out into space, and threw it into the sun. Superman returned to the site, wanting a word with Lex. Lex arrived and explained that it wasn't his lab but one he did contract work with, that it had been working on organ regrowth, and that he didn't know what had happened. Lex went down into the underground facility to investigate, knowing that Superman would go with him and keep him safe. They talked along the way, and though Superman was convinced that something unethical was going on, he was also convinced that Lex wasn't responsible for it this time.

Lex surprised Nina by being in her office when she got to work. She wasn't happy about that but Lex quickly distracted her from that by showing her the monstrosity that Superman had thrown into the sun. He wanted her to go to the underground lab with him to investigate what happened and to see if anything remained of the creature. Nina was extremely reluctant to put herself in harm's way but was persuaded. They used a protective, sealed container that they hoped would keep them safe to go down into the lab and then remote-controlled drones to explore, finding that there was indeed a remnant of the creature that appeared to be trapped. At this point, Nina became too frightened to continue controlling the drone, so they took a break. Nina began to talk about being powerful and how hard it was for her to navigate having it, prompting Lex to reassure her that he knew that he couldn't force her to do anything even though he was curious about what she could actually do. Nina warned him that their goals were not quite in sync, but they were at least on the same page when it came to the creature.

Lex warned that when the mayor and city council were disgraced that would make Gordon the most trusted public figure in Gotham, and asked Gordon if he would be ready for that. Gordon said he could only promise to use the resources that were given to him well. Lex left uncertain of the future.
