As Lee operates on him, Gordon dreams of himself being on trial for his failures in his life and decisions.

Ivy also hypnotizes Bruce and Lucius into shutting down the river's treatment facility and keeping the water polluted, but Selina frees them and helps stop the shutdown. To get in Gordon's good graces, Barbara blackmails the gang leaders into a ceasefire. Ivy infiltrates the GCPD to kill Gordon but flees after Lee shoots her. In his final hallucination, Gordon decides to live for Lee and his unborn child.
