Gotham Season 5: 6 Major Questions We Have After Trespassers

6. What Relevance Does "Mother" Have?

Gordon, Bullock and a large group of GCPD officers ventured into one of the city's far-off districts in the hopes of locating and rescuing the oppressed kids that were being used as slaves by the evil Soothsayers. After a brief altercation with the antagonistic bunch of villains, the two detectives found themselves running for cover - with several of the kids still in tow.

They took refuge in a nearby hotel, and while in the building, Gordon was confronted by an eccentric, mask-wearing woman whom one of the hotel-dwellers referred to as "Mother". She engaged in a brawl with Gordon, but the creepy lady soon gave up, and vanished.

In truth, the scene - and the Mother character - felt incredibly pointless, and served little purpose to this episode, other than to drag the story out for an additional 10 minutes. Should the character rear her creepy head again in the future, however, before Gotham's curtain comes down, then this scene may have more relevance, but for now it seems as though it couldn't be more irrelevant to the story.
