With his nascent operation at stake, Oz makes a desperate move to turn the tables. Meanwhile, Sofia strives to build a new legacy for herself.

Since it has been a while since the last post, I thought I'd pick up where mrjohnmuller and ellieBOA left off. Thank you for your service!

I really hope Dr. Creepy gets his comeuppance. That guy just oozes gross energy, and I hope Sofia doesn't let him ride her coattails for much longer.

If the underground tunnels had been abandoned for years, who left the modern portable generator down there for Oz to find and power-up his new base of ops? Will he face off against the CHUDs next episode?!

Agreed, I found the doctor to be a big ol' creep, even if he is trying to help Sofia and Sofia seems to keep him around to get things done. I can't tell if the actor was trying to be mysterious, but there is just some weird vibe about him that comes off as dark and subtly manipulative.

I also do not buy Dr. Creepy's whole "Oh, I didn't know what they were doing to you in Arkham, I was trying to help, that's why I so bravely quit to pursue an obviously lucrative private practice, judging from my sweet-ass office with original fine art, please just let me be close" act.

Although, if you look at it as a gender-swapped Joker/Harley Quinn story (which I absolutely think is at least one intended allusion), it's kinda great and exactly what such a dynamic would probably look like.
