Sniffer is released from the hospital in time for Viktor to call him in to help with a new murder. Unbeknownst to him, he is being stalked by a sniper that has orders to kill him. The case of the week is a murder at a supermarket. A hooded figure steals an item only to be brought into the back room where security guards try to rough him up but the killer pulls out a gun and shoots them all dead before leaving.

Yulia is behind on some loan payments and doesn't have a job so when she meets with the loan officer and he displays an attraction to her she decides to trade sex for an extension on making her payments.

Sniffer determines that the killer was wearing a fake mustache to disguise himself. There is more to this case than meets the eye. The killer was also able to precisely hide his face from the security cameras which indicates that he knew where they were. They suspect that he may have previously worked there.

Sniffer is brought in to help verify whether an inmate is indeed reformed and able to be released. But when Sniffer is able to deduce that the man has made a chiv hidden on him, the man tries to attack him but is restrained. As the prison's head that brought him in apologises for the incident, Sniffer becomes overwhelmed and passes out.

Viktor and the head of tech look through security footage from the supermarket and discover that the three guards that were killed are found to have been involved in a scheme where they would plant items in the bags of female customers to force them to come to the back room and trade sexual favours to be released without getting arrested. There was a fourth guard present for some of these incidents and they find that the man brought this issue forward to HR. The company instead fired the man.

The killer takes out the other man that knew about the women victims, as he's now working security at another location. It's revealed that his wife was one of the victims of this scheme at the grocery store. Another man comes and holds the wife hostage after her husband leaves. He returns when she doesn't answer her phone and finds that the man is holding her hostage, tied to a chair with her mouth taped shut and a video camera to record himself taking advantage of her. He returns only to be knocked out by the man who sneaks up from behind. The invader is one of the employees from the grocery store. Viktor and the other officers smash their way into the apartment before the man can do anything to her. Both men are arrested and the tapes of the many women are found in the surveillance servers.

Later, a prison guard receives a strange phone call from which he can only hear the sound of some dial-up tones. He goes into a hypnotic trance and goes to the prisoner that had earlier tried to attack Sniffer. He shoots the man dead before walking off and killing himself while the same sniper that has been following Sniffer watches and informs his superior that the deed is done. Meanwhile, Viktor tells Sniffer about some dead men with military tattoos that don't match any legitimate military branches.

The Sniffer is available for streaming on Netflix.

Sniffer has been shot and Viktor brings him to the hospital. Flashbacks reveal that they were investigating a case of murder for two headless, handless bodies discovered by a woman walking her dog. A man, 30-35 years old had shot them before using a large metal sheet to decapitate the bodies and take the heads with him in a plastic bag. Sniffer finds the metal sheet nearby next to a briefcase that belonged to one of the victims. One of the victims was a senior investigator in law enforcement, as determines by his ID still being in his pocket.

The department has a new medical examiner named Irina Nordin, whom Viktor is immediately attracted to though she is uninterested in him. The second victim is determined to be a petty criminal named Shilov who had been released from prison eight months prior to his death.

Sniffer and Viktor visit the first victim's office and finds that he had worked on an immunity agreement for Shilov but upon looking through it there are eight pages missing.

Meanwhile Tatyana's husband is released from prison and learns that her filing to divorce him was accepted regardless of him not giving consent. But Tatyana has been staying in a psychiatric hospital to deal with the trauma of being taken captive by the killer in the season one finale. Yulia lists her but hides her scent by dousing herself with cheap perfume so that Sniffer won't know she was there if he comes to visit.

A man named Komarv had killed a woman that caught him on a robbery with Shilov. A neighbor saw Komarv kill her but when she brought in to testify she refused to go through with it. Shilov was able to get a shorter sentence when he agreed to testify against Komarv.

The first murder victim, Lyonya, is said by his wife to have been climbing his career ladder fast and that his boss wasn't so happy about this since he was looking for older cases to crack in addition to his newer ones.

A police captain visits the elderly woman that nearly testified against him and kills her, saying he can't take any risks if she decides to change her mind and go through with testifying against him. He tries to frame the murder as an accidental death resulting from her slipping on wet food. Sniffer is brought in to check the crime scene but he can't pick up on anything past the overwhelming scent of cats. The other investigators check her place and discover part of a cash supply she had taken to not testify against Komarv and the medical examiner is able to find signs that her death was not an accident.

Sniffer visits Tatyana and she runs away from him due to him being a triggering reminder of the traumas she has been through.

Sniffer and Viktor continue their investigation and it leads them to a junkyard where Sniffer is able to locate another dead body. The body is shown to be Komarv, their main suspect up until that point.

Meanwhile the wife of the first victim finds the missing eight pages of the immunity deal in their wedding album. She calls in Viktor and Sniffer to show them what she has found. Shilov testified that Komarv had left with a police captain. He followed after them and witnessed this police captain kill Komarv. He also says that he had previously seen the police captain at the 47th police station since that was where he had been reprimanded for prior crimes. Upon talking with the wife, Sniffer realises that a scent of sand he picked up from the suitcase was actually from the killer's hands, leading them to find the place where the killer buried the heads.

It's the middle of the night when Sniffer holds the flashlights as Viktor digs. The captain appears to try to reprimand them for being on restricted lands but Sniffer tells Viktor he's the killer. A shoot-out beings and the killer gets away after Sniffer is shot. This leads to the episode's beginning where Viktor has brought Sniffer to the hospital to be tended to. Sniffer flatlines but the doctors are able to revive him and tend to his gunshot wound. Yulia visits and is informed of Sniffer's progress and leaves afterwards, telling Viktor not to tell him that she came.

Captain Shevtsov's bullets are shown to match the bullets in the earlier murder victims, which explains why he took the heads. Shevtsov meets with a criminal associate who tries to shoot and kill him but he also jumps out of the window and falls to the ground below before he can be killed.. At first is appears as if he's dead but after a moment, his eyes flutter, indicating that he's only badly wounded. The paramedics arrive and load him up into the ambulance before his associate can get to him. This would-be killer follows the ambulance on his motorcycle.

Inside the ambulance, Shevtsov warns that he needs enhanced guards and protection. The killer causes the ambulance to have a flat tire and shoots the various paramedics before shooting Shevtsov numerous more times. Viktor and other officers arrive on the scene and surround the shooter. Viktor orders him to drop his gun but when the killer sees that he is surrounded, he shoots himself in the head. There is another sniper watching the scene from afar that was shown to be preparing to shoot the killer if he hadn't already shot himself first, while speaking to an unknown boss. He disassembles his weapons and asks for his new target. He receives a text message image of Sniffer.

When he considers giving up, he is transported to a mysterious circular display that glows blue. Billy approaches the orb and appears to ponder between continuing forward or not as he reaches his hands forward.

Roman says that he will not give Dan the absolution he is looking for and drops the gun at his feet before walking away.

A mysterious woman emerges from the glowing orb covered in slime. When Father Dan returns to the church and checks on the orb he is shocked to find that it now has a gaping hole in it. The woman visits the McGrath-Dufresne home and meets Isabel in the attic who simply nods at her. The woman then coughs up a slimy orb and Isabel does the same, prompting the woman to do the same once more.

Upon opening it, he is shocked to find a letter device of any odors, and only a message telling him to "save her." The ink smells of a 25-30 year old woman with dyed blond hair. There is also a smell of stables and cash. A further scent points him towards stables.

At Arkham Asylum, Professor Pyg puts a record of Ave Maria on a gramophone. The other patients in the rec room are mostly calm except for one inmate who demands he turn it off because his mother used to beat him while playing it before he killed her while also having the song on. Pyg goads the inmate into attacking him to which he responds by snapping a record in half and killing the inmate with him.

Back at the GCPD, Jim and Fox examine the X-rays for Pyg which reveal that he has had numerous facial surgeries that prevent them from knowing his true identity. Jim asks Fox to work on trying to trace Pyg's origins. Jim heads out to his office where Sofia is waiting for him. She wants to continue their relationship and says that despite Oswald knowing about her buying Jim's spot as Captain, she has everything under control. Jim is upset to learn that Oswald knows about her bribery and remains uninterested in pursuing a relationship with Sofia.

Lee is hard at work as the new club leader in the Narrows. She has formed a court to bestow justice and settle disagreements amicably. A man comes in with a face injury, having been beaten by a gangster named Sampson. Ed suggests she send Grundy to beat him into staying in his own territory. Lee is weary of using brute force to enforce order when she's trying to keep things somewhat civilised.

Sofia returns home to find Oswald and Zsasz waiting for her. Oswald confronts her for lying to him and having a secret relationship with Jim. She tries to deny it but when Oswald presents further knowledge and evidence of her dealings with Jim she admits it, only to be further frightened by Oswald bringing in a torture specialist called The Dentist.

Jim vists Pyg in Arkham Asylum and goads him into revealing a Southern accent that gives Jim a lead to follow in tracing his origins.

Lee and Ed confront Sampson in his neighbourhood for trying to move in on her territory. She offers to pay him off of moving in but Sampson insists that he'll be taking her club and her neighbourhood by force. She offers to treat his coughing up blood and the other sick people in his neighbourhood, and he agrees to come by her clinic to begin treatment as well as demanding that he'll get 30% of the Fight Night profits.

Sofia convinces The Dentist to help her escape by threatening him and his family but she is promptly kidnapped by Barbara, Tabitha, and Selina. They want her to convince Oswald to not kill them but Sofia reveals that Oswald just tried to kill her because she is very close to taking over his underworld empire. Sofia says that if they let her go, Oswald will be dealt with. Barbara still wants to ransom Sofia back to Oswald.

Owald is talking to Martin who claims that Sofia made him lie about kissing Jim. Barbara calls to ransom Sofia back in exchange for her demands and he agrees. In actuality, he sends Zsasz out to kill all of them. Zsasz shoots a bazooka at the building but the women are able to escape out the back before it hits. Barbara swears revenge on Oswald.

Sofia vists Jim at the station and claims Oswald just tried to kill her and emotionally pleas for Jim to use his position of authority to take Oswald down. Jim deduces that Sofia is just trying to get him to kill Oswald for her as the final move in a multi-stepped plan she conceived of. Jim visits Oswald instead, sharing how Sofia visited claiming he tried to kill her. Jim doesn't want to arrest Oswald but is offering a deal that will result in Sofia leaving Gotham at nightfall and Oswald will be able to continue ruling his empire.

Lee and Ed return to the clinic and find it has been badly destroyed. Ed suggests she send Grundy to kill Sampson but she declares she has a better idea. She visits Sampson once more with Ed and tells him he needs to clear out of the Narrows by nightfall. She presents an antidote and tells him she had his drink poisoned. She will only give it to him if he leaves by the end of the day. He agrees.

Jim has Sofia arrested and escorted to the train station by another detective with the condition being that if she doesn't leave and stay gone, she will be put behind bars.

Zsasz is sent after Sofia's train and discovers that she orchestrated Martin's kidnapping to ensure she'd escape. Sofia, Barbara, and Tabitha have Martin in their custody. Sofia wants to meet with Oswald. At the meet, the women have Martin in their clutches and Sofia demands Oswald turn over his empire or else she will kill Martin and him too. Oswald submits to Sofia's demands and Sofia gives Martin back. Oswald apologises to Martin for getting angry at him, then tells him to get into the car. He then tells the women that Martin will no longer be used as a pawn and then blows up the car. He declares that war has begun. The women are forced to retreat as gunfire erupts. Sofia tells the other women that they will win this war against Oswald.

Lee tells Ed that the side effects from being frozen have now dissipated. She held off on telling him because she likes seeing him return to the man he once was as opposed to the cold killer. He is more like the man she was friends with before.

Oswald is revealed to have orchestrated a scheme to fake Martin's death. He tells Martin he needs to go with Zsasz to somewhere outside of Gotham to stay safe, though Martin doesn't want to leave Penguin. Zsasz is skeptical of his needing to be the one to take Martin out of the city, believing he should be sent after Sofia, but Oswald assures him that he has something more insidious in store for Sofia.

Fox successfully reconstructs an image of what Pyg used to look like and by using Jim's lead into the Southern area, they're able to discover his previous identity as Lazlo Valetin.

The case against him didn't fall apart but Lazlo escaped before they could put him on trial.
