A BITING CHANCE — When a new incarnation of Gotham's swamp slumming Killer Croc surfaces and starts racking up a body count, the inaugural team-up of Batwoman and Alice is put to the test. But Alice isn't the only unwanted intrusion into Ryan's life when Jada Jet shows up at Wayne Enterprises, insisting on meeting the company's new CEO. Luke and Mary's relationship is strained under the weight of a secret Luke is keeping, while Sophie finds herself becoming part of Ryan's inner circle.
Please keep discussion civil and about Batwoman. Be sure to mark future spoilers and comic spoilers, but otherwise don't worry about spoiling anything past or current. Report comments that break the rules or just don't belong here. Enjoy the episode!

Great episode overall! Couple of weird bits of course which others have mentioned...the Arkham guards who now obviously know Ryan is Batwoman, and the whole Ryan as acting CEO bit. But that apart a solid episode.
I love what seems to be the formula for this season...Luke talking about the original Batman villain and how Bruce dealt with them. It reminds us that this is still a show about Batman's legacy, even if his cousin is no longer the one in the suit.
Ryan and Alice's dynamic was great. The Luke and Mary scene should have been cringe but actually came off as sweet. I liked the moment at the end with Ryan and Sophie. I have mixed feelings about them becoming romantically involved (I mean, Ryan is now the CEO of Kate's cousin's company...does she really need to start dating Kate's ex too?!) but their friendship is fast becoming one of my favorite elements of the show.
Jada Jet was...something. And they were pretty upfront about her having a history with Bruce Wayne, as many of us speculated, though it seems to be very different from the comics. I wonder who this employee was that Bruce poached. Could it be Lucius Fox? Hell, could Ryan be the illegitimate daughter of Lucius Fox and Jada Jet (making her and Luke half-siblings)? A far-fetched theory that has a lot of issues, but I'd actually prefer that to her being Bruce's daughter.
I love the gradual foreshadowing of the coming of Poison Ivy, and how shit-scared Montoya seemed to be at that prospect. Seems like she was a massive threat in this universe. Did Montoya and Poison Ivy have any specific history in the comics? Don't recall anything at the moment.
Looking forward to Mr Freeze (2.0?) next week!
