'Gotham' Season 2 Episode 5 Spoilers: Will Robin Lord Taylor, Ben McKenzie See Female Firefly?

Season 2 of the Batman prequel series, Gotham, continues on Fox. In the upcoming Episode 5,  will detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) need each other's help when they meet The Female Firefly?

In our previous recap, while Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) watched Alfred (Sean Pertwee) put the moves on Leslie (Morena Baccarin), Jerome and Barbara held a charity benefit hostage. As Jerome held a knife to Bruce's throat, Theo switched sides, pretending to be the hero, and stabbed in the throat. Because the media played his laughter nonstop, Jerome's insanity spread across Gotham, inspiring the psychotic child who would become the Joker.

In our recent recap, while Theo Galavan (James Frain) announced his candidacy for Mayor, he was also holding the Penguin's mother hostage. As Penguin followed Theo's orders and committed murder, Jim (Ben McKenzie) found himself in charge of the strike force against the king of Gotham. While the murder count grew, the romance between Nygma and Kringle grew, leading up to their first kiss.

As we previously mentioned, Michelle Veintimilla has landed the role Bridget Pike, the sister of Joe Pike (played by The Wire alum, Leo Fitzpatrick) In the fifth and sixth episode, Bridget Pike feels enslaved by her brothers, a notorious gang of arsonists. Forced into the family business., Bridget suddenly feels her skulls could be of good use when she meets Selina Kyle, the young Catwoman. Bridget will soon become hell-bent on destroying those who did her wrong.

In his statement released to Comic Book Resources, executive producer Bruno Heller reveals the gender change for Firefly, "We decided to make Firefly a woman because we wanted to describe how even a warm, loving and compassionate person can turn to the dark side when life pushes him or her that way. She's not driven by testosterone-fueled aggression, but by a burning sense of injustice. Michelle Veintimilla brings warmth and vulnerability to the role that conceals a steely core of strength and courage."

Gotham Season 2 continues on Fox Mondays at 8pm.
