Selina reveals this information to Bruce, who admits that he always suspected it was a scam but paid the money in the hopes of helping Selina to reconcile with her mother. Selina is too overcome by emotion at all of the stress from the circumstances, devastated that Maria never made an effort to reconnect with her until Bruce was in her life and takes it out on Bruce by attacking him. But as Bruce has been working hard in his training, he is able to fend off her attack without receiving too much injury.

Dwight and the rest of the cult infiltrate the television station as planned and take over a news broadcast. Dwight is acting out a Jerome facade while Jim and other officers are entering the building through the ventilation system to stop the cult and save the hostages. When Jerome sees the broadcast taking place, he leaves the precinct disguised in a uniform and leaves Lee inside bound and gagged. Jim, Harvey, and the other officers finally get into the main room of the station right as Dwight has broadcast his message. Many cult members are killed in the commotion and Dwight is arrested.

Oswald receives a hostage call from Ed, who claims to be held captive at Kane Chemicals.

Jerome steals a station van and kidnaps Dwight for stealing his face and acting as him. Jerome brings him to a power plant and attaches explosives to him before beginning a broadcast of his own, claiming that "in the darkness, there are no rules" and encourages the citizens watching to kill anyone and do whatever they want, claiming that in the morning they will be reborn. He then lights the explosives and leaves Dwight to die.

Jim orders a chopper so he can make it to the power plant and stop the destruction but when he goes outside, he sees the power plant explode which results in a city-wide power outage plunging Gotham into darkness.

Jim and Harvey have followed the morgue manager Dwight to an abandoned theatre and find a crowd has gathered. A rally is taking place and Dwight addresses the crowd and says that the only person to stand up for the people being exploited by the systems in place is Jerome Valeska.
