A train in Gotham City fails to make a stop, which leaves a horde of would be passengers behind and confused.
Inside the train, one of the passengers complains that the stop the train just passed by was his stop.
While another one tells the train’s conductor to slow down and refers to said conductor as Keanu. He goes onto mention that some of them have tickets to Jagged Little Pill they can't miss.
Several train commuters then end up getting rattled and shaken when the train loses its breaks and the conductor subsequently tells the passengers to brace for impact.
Back in the Batcave, Luke tells Batwoman, that the GCPD received an SOS alert from the train’s conductor five minutes ago when the train’s brakes went out. He explains that the train’s got half mile of traction before it reaches the end of the line.
Kate is driving to where the train is ending up at, and tells Luke over the comms that she really loves the new bike, and thanks him for the present. Though she subtly reveals that her birthday isn’t for another 2 days.
Kate then realizes Luke had no idea.
Meanwhile, back on the train, it continues to speed on, but Kate is not too far behind. She ends up using her grapple hook that connects to the back one of the train’s carts.
It ends up stopping the train from crashing, and the passengers remained unharmed. However, the grapple hook comes undone, and almost hits Batwoman, who gets pushed out of the way and to safety by Slam Bradley.
The onlookers then begin taking pictures of the two.
Later, Vesper Fairchild greets her listeners, and talks about how after the death of Oliver Queen, they all need a reason to smile.
On The Gotham Observer, the front page has a picture of Batwoman and Slam Bradley, and the headline discusses how Batman’s got competition.
Luke then comes into Kate’s office at Wayne Enterprises, where she is reading the same article online and telling her that Batwoman’s street cred is off the charts now.
He goes onto say that Officer Slam Bradley is as hometown hero as it gets. Luke then laughs and reveals to Kate that Slam was Mr. March in the annual Hunks of the GCPD calendar.
He goes onto say that Batwoman gives off major straight vibes, but that this is good for them because the more misinformation there is of her, the better is to hide her identity.
Kate gets irritated that all off Gotham is only talking about Batwoman’s sex life after the fact she saved a train full of 450 passengers.
Luke argues that the denizens of Gotham just want to see Batwoman happy.
Kate walks out as she says that it’s too bad she isn’t feeling all that happy at the moment.
Luke then notices that Kate was reading an article from The Gotham Gazette whose headline reads: Crows Commander Awaits Murder Trial as Evidence Piles Up. It also mentions how Jacob Kane maintains his innocence in the shocking death of his wife Catherine Hamilton-Kane.

Alice then tells Mouse how it’s such a shame her dear sister couldn’t join them today. Mouse replies by saying that he guesses that would require her taking one of Alice’s calls, or answering a text, a letter or a cryptic gift.
Alice gets annoyed and shushes Mouse, saying that his tea is getting cold. Mouse tells Alice that he’s getting cold, so perhaps they could resume whatever this is when the weather is more favorable to celebration.
Alice says that Catherine Hamilton is dead, so the sunshine is implied.
Mouse tells Alice that he knows she has this fantasy where, the three of them become a family one day, but tells her that Kate doesn’t share that same fantasy.
She says that Kate will come around since she killed their mutual enemy.
Mouse tries to reason with Alice by saying that to Kate, that is not a gesture of love, but of weakness, and that it’s another strand in her unraveling psychosis. Mouse continues by saying that Kate doesn’t see her sister in Alice anymore, but rather a soul in need of saving because she’s the city’s hero. Who can’t be seen sipping tea with fugitives.
He tells Alice that as long as she wears that mask, Alice will never bring Kate to their side.
At her secret clinic, Mary records a video telling the people that follow her on Instagram that her profile isn’t a place for them to leave behind comments that refer to her as human garbage for defending her step-dad.
She says that there’s not enough bandwidth in the world to explain to all of them why they’re wrong for how they’re treating her, so instead, she will be signing off for a bit, and tells the people spewing hate onto her to be better to one another.
Kate shows up and scares Mary, who is still angry at her.
Kate wants to help, but Mary says that between her and Sophie they got it.
She tells Kate that Jacob has every lawyer in Gotham on retainer, Sophie is assembling a strike team to find Mouse, and she is looking for a plastic surgeon willing to testify that that masks of people Mouse has worn are possible.

The Mayor encourages everyone to go about their daily lives since the authorities are working around the clock to catch the criminal, and make sure that it never happens again.

The onlookers all yell out “kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” while they have their phones out.
Slam leans in for a kiss, but Batwoman tells him it’s not happening.
The next day, Parker shows up at Wayne Enterprises, and Kate tells her that she is expected to complete 150 hours of community service cleaning up graffiti from the streets of Gotham City.
Kate then tells Parker that if she finds out Parker is still hacking, she will have her go to juvie and pay back every single person she had blackmailed.

Alice, sporting brown hair says it’s bad enough that they converted her apartment into a boy’s dorm room, and no one chose to tell her.
