The Laughing Clown
Unknown - The Joker, Iris Ledford, Victor Grant - Wulfen, Bruce Wayne - Batman, Jorden Derisma - Scourge

SPOILER: Click to show

The Joker ran into Iris on the sidewalk, but though he immediately threatened her life her ability to have gallows humor about it kept him from killing her immediately. But they were spotted by Wulfen, who got enough of the Joker's attention that he let Iris flee. Batman was not far behind and told Wulfen to back off. But when Batman fought the Joker he was ambushed by Scourge, so Batman told Wulfen to handle Scourge. But Joker seemed willing to be arrested at that point, so both he and Scourge were put into custody.

A Much Needed Session
Victor Grant - Wulfen, Iris Ledford

Victor, having woken up in the asylum, was evaluated by Iris. Realizing that he was a victim of the Scarecrow, she noted that he was actually coping quite well. She taught him how to meditate to calm himself and also answered many of his questions about what had happened. She decided to keep him at the asylum overnight just to be sure but recommended that he be released.

Get Us Into Arkham
Arnold Wesker - The Ventriloquist, Iris Ledford

SPOILER: Click to show

When confronted by one of Arnold and Scarface's men, Iris decided to pretend to play along rather than put up a fight. They wanted help getting into the asylum so that they could get revenge on Poison Ivy, so Iris pretended that she didn't like her either and was all too happy to help. They took her to their hideout, which was an abandoned children's center, where Scarface 'went to bed'. This was a problem because Arnold had a crush on Iris and meant to attack her, but Iris knew how to defend herself.

Staff Meeting
Iris Ledford, Hugo Strange, Joan Leland, Jeremiah Arkham, Nathaniel Arkham

SPOILER: Click to show

Iris, Hugo, and Joan were among the staff members of the asylum that arrived at the meeting early, but Jeremiah was right on time because he'd been waiting for Nathaniel, who was running late enough that he was forced to go in without him. Jeremiah began the meeting and talked about the problem of escapes from the asylum, opening the topic for a group discussion. While most of the attendees discussed better training for the staff, mental health problems among the staff, getting some funding for better cells, and getting funding for a better staff, Iris kept her mouth shut except to whisper sarcasm to Nathaniel. This did not please Joan or Jeremiah, but Nathaniel became an enabler.

The Overture
Nathaniel Arkham, Iris Ledford

SPOILER: Click to show

Nathaniel accidentally-on-purpose ordered too much takeout and offered it to Iris as an excuse to eat lunch with her. She accepted, and they used the opportunity to get to know each other, talking about their philosophies about their work, their families, and the cause of the problems of Gotham.

Autumn was riding the bus to a rehearsal when Jordan, who had been walking nearby, got overtaken by Scourge. Scourge stopped the bus and killed the driver. Iris, who was also on the bus, watched this in horror. Scourge ravaged those who were trying to flee and then knocked the bus to its side, jumping on top and trying to attack the people inside, including Iris. She managed to mace him in the eyes and get away. The police arrived and Scourge fled.

Sonata Form
Nathaniel Arkham, Iris Ledford

SPOILER: Click to show

Nathaniel arrived at Iris's apartment, ready to take her on a date. They walked to a nearby bistro, where Nathaniel convinced Iris to try the calamari before they both had a main course of quail. As they ate they shared quirks about themselves that they hadn't told before, and when the conversation turned to their feelings for each other Nathaniel amended his plans for the evening by inviting her to spend the night at his place. She agreed, and they stopped off at her apartment so that she could prepare an overnight bag before they went to his place.

Fear is the Mind-Killer
Iris Ledford, Jonathan Crane - Scarecrow, Nathaniel Arkham

SPOILER: Click to show

Iris met with Jonathan for a session as Jeremiah was out of town and asked her to fill in for him. Jonathan used his usual tactic of trying to take over the session, and Iris openly told him that she was pretty sure Jeremiah asked her to do the session because he didn't like her. This led to a mutual griping about Jeremiah, though their sense of common understanding was only temporary as Jonathan escaped his restraints and back her against a wall. However, that's when Nathaniel burst into the room, having heard that Jonathan had escaped his restraints, and Iris used that distraction to hit Jonathan where it hurts.

Affairs of the Heart
Selina Kyle - Catwoman, Iris Ledford

SPOILER: Click to show

Selina had a session with Iris, as she'd been feeling overwhelmed by trying to deal with Bruce being Batman, being friends with both Edward and Nina during their feud, as well as all the other pressures she'd been dealing with. Of course, at first, she was reluctant to reveal all this to Iris, but she eventually told Iris that she was involved with both Batman and Bruce Wayne and also dropped enough clues for Iris to guess that she was Catwoman herself. Selina told Iris her life story, especially the parts that led her to steal and become Catwoman. Iris gave Selina some advice on how to figure out what she needed to do to improve her relationship difficulties and better organize her thoughts about the other stressful things in her life, to help make it all feel more manageable.

Running My Troubles Away
Iris Ledford, Marc Dahlmaine

SPOILER: Click to show

Iris went for a run at the gym when she was noticed by Marc, who was doing the same. When they had both finished, Marc saw her getting ready to leave and asked if she would care for a smoothie. She said yes, so they went next door, chatting about Gotham and their respective work. Iris's frequent phone checks as they spoke proved to be messages from Nathaniel, who Iris explained was her boyfriend. That led them to speak about relationships in general and they discovered that they were both divorced. As Marc seemed to be having trouble moving on from his, Iris offered him empathy and advice. Iris also offered to send him a list of good local restaurants, because Marc was new in town.

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.

Girls, Interrupted
Dinah Lance - Black Canary, Helena Bertinelli - Huntress, Victor Zsasz, Iris Ledford, Pamela Isley - Poison Ivy, Heather Glass - VerMillion

SPOILER: Click to show

Dinah and Helena found themselves locked up at the asylum, but couldn't remember how they got there. Aside from the nurses who'd had them sedated, Victor was the first one to greet them as he was allowed to wander somewhat for good behavior. Iris arrived next, introducing herself as their therapist and offering to take them to the rec room until it was decided where they should be housed. They agreed with that, so they went to the rec room where Poison Ivy and VerMillion were present. Poison Ivy paid little attention, but VerMillion noticed their nerves and told them not to worry. Victor took an interest in VerMillion because she was new to him, accidentally hurting her and getting a sedative for it, but that didn't stop VerMillion from wanting to sit by him.

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.
