Batwoman
Season 1 - Episode 17 - "A Narrow Escape"
Kate/BW/Luke: Good that she showrunners are not letting her guilt / PTSD for murdering Cartwright just fade away...along with her violence. As usual, her relationship with Luke is the best thing about the series, with both suffering, full of doubt and not fond of the silence / distance between the two. Theirs is the backbone of the series, and I look forward to their growing closer.
"You're fast--but not that fast" Nice. He knows Batwoman's skill set as well as she does.
She broke part of her PTSD by admitting--finally--that she murdered Cartwright, which brought Luke out of his own march toward the unthinkable.
No surprise the Wayne building had full lockdown tech...but the CG shutters were dodgy as Hell.
Jacob / Detonator: So Robles was picking up where the original left off--and getting rid of anyone who could tie him (and his benefactor) to the Fox murder / framing of Reggie Harris His modus operandi--making so-called heroes prove it by self sacrifice over letting others die--was an interesting plot device, and yes, its there as a mirror to Kate not feeling she was worthy of wearing the suit.
Alice / Mouse: I thought she was having some sort of hallucination or treatment (about a dream that should never, ever become a reality), but it was surprising to see conflict with Mouse, though it was destined be short-lived. If the series is honest, her eventual escape from Arkham cannot go back to her quest to convince Kate she's no different while focusing on Jacob as if he acted alone.
Mary: "I'm the last person [she] would confide in." Boo hoo. Kate or her costumed half owes her nothing. She is so tiresome with that self-pitying crap. All of her personal stories is nothing one would use to identify the ID of anyone else. Unnecessary burden.
NOTES: Snapping believability to the point of snapping: that explosion should have killed Kate, Mary and everyone else in that dump. No one can survive a close quarters detonation of that scale whether they were wearing protection or not.
Alice's "surgical skills" would not be able to skin one face and place it on another. Aside from the gruesome nature of the act, its never sold as even remotely possible--especially on a more grounded series like this one.
So, Batman killed the Joker 5 years earlier. That explains at least part of his reasons for leaving Gotham.
GRADE: A.
