Gotham Season 5: 5 Major Questions We Have After 'Pena Dura'

Contains spoilers from Gotham Season 5, Episode 5.

Gotham returned to screens last month for its final season, and it's safe to say that it hasn't disappointed us thus far. The hit Fox series has been on a bit of a roll since that spectacular opening episode, and it's getting better as it progresses, with each instalment leaving viewers shocked after a series of unpredictable twists.

The latest episode, Pena Dura, proved to be one of the most heart-racing hours the series has delivered, as Ed Nygma finally came to realise who's been playing with his mind. The future Riddler wasn't the only person of interest, however, as Bruce struggled to come to terms with Selina's lack of feeling over her actions in the previous instalment, when she murdered Jeremiah Valeska.

Of course - in typical Gotham fashion - Jeremiah isn't actually dead, and the charming antagonist rose from the grave to ensure that his devilish plan is completed - and what a plan it is.

With Gotham on a one-week break, viewers will no doubt be thinking about Pena Dura's shocking conclusion for quite some time, so let's take a look at what it - as well as a few other things from the episode - mean going forward

While there was a lot of dialogue spoken during Pena Dura, one subject remained unspoken for the entire hour, and that was Jim and Barbara's kiss. In the previous episode, Ruin, Babs and Gordon joined forces in an attempt to locate the person responsible for Haven's demise. It was a bit like old times, as the former lovers worked alongside one another with a common goal. The GCPD captain gave into his darker side during Ruin on numerous occasions, and before the episode's end, he pulled his ex in for a passionate kiss.

In Pena Dura, however, there was no mention of the deed having taken place. Gordon was his old usual self, and Babs only appeared once - in a scene that served little purpose other than to benefit Ed's storyline. Therefore, it's unknown how far the pair's romantic interaction went, and if they lived to regret it afterwards.

It's a safe bet that this storyline will rear its head again in the future. What's more, if Barbara and Gordon did, in fact, sleep together, then perhaps the owner of the Sirens' club will have fallen pregnant with young Barbara (aka Batgirl) as a result. It's unlikely that these two will end up happily married like in the comics, so a one night stand would more than suffice to introduce Jim's iconic daughter into the Gotham universe.
