Barnes, Gordon, and the Strike Force raid Penguin's count house. A firefight ensues. Someone fires a rocket launcher at the police, but is shot. Barnes is surprised at the weaponry. Gordon tells Barnes about a weapons warehouse that has never been raided because of city council members on the take. Barnes vows to raid the warehouse the next day.
Penguin is venting to Butch about Galavan's tactics when one of his men comes in to tell him about the count house raid. Penguin takes his anger out on the guy and nearly beats him to death with a fireplace poker.

Tabitha visits Penguin with a job in hand. It's list of places for him to burn to the ground. She gives him a small silver box that they will need.
Butch visits Cat. He needs her to take him to the Pike brothers who are the best arsonists in Gotham. He tells her they are Fish loyalists and won't trust him if he goes alone, but that she'll add credence because Fish loved her. Cat talks about Fish coming back, but Butch says he doesn't think that's going to happen.
They get to Pike's place. The brothers want to shoot Butch, but Cat convinces them that Butch is one of them. They talk about Fish and her return. Butch tries to dismiss the idea, but is cut off. They agree to do the job. Their sister Bridgit gets them beer, but is kicked by Joe Pike when she doesn't give everyone a glass for their beer.
She runs outside to cry. Cat follows and gives her a mini pep talk.
Evan Pike goes to the Merc to buy some napalm for their job. When he sees the cost of the plastic explosives, he steals one by putting it in his pants.
