Nathaniel Barnes ( Michael Chiklis ), a new captain of the GCPD, arrives to clean up the department and end corruption. With Gordon's assistance, they recruit several aspiring police trainees from the Police Academy to form an elite team to accomplish that goal. Galavan kidnaps Cobblepot's mother and blackmails Cobblepot into murdering all of the other candidates so that Galavan can run for mayor unopposed. When Selina begins looking for Bruce at his prep school, she is ordered off by Alfred because she killed Reggie. Shortly afterward, Bruce meets with Galavan to thank him for saving his life during the charity event and meets Galavan's niece, Silver St. Cloud ( Natalie Alyn Lind ). Nygma and Miss Kringle have a romantic evening together. As Cobblepot begins to have Butch quietly search for his mother, Captain Barnes directs the strike force to target Cobblepot.
