A thoroughly typical Monday for everyone involved.
So Jim's Working at Arkham Now
FOX
We open on the inmates of Arkham blowing through the asylum's apparently bloated arts budget by putting on a musical adaptation of The Tempest starring the criminally insane. Jim Gordon is head of security, having been demoted from detective to Arkham babysitter in last year's mid-season finale. His crime? Trying to arrest the mayor (again). Emotions run high in the theatre/mental institution and a sudden inmate kerfuffle demands the attention of a doctor played by the inimitable Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Homeland), who has stayed prettier than you since the late 1970s.
If you're not immediately familiar with Dr. Leslie Thompson (and the show helpfully doesn't care either way), the good doctor is the angelic physician to Gotham's discarded citizens and future mother figure — or grandmother, really — to Bruce Wayne, who collects elderly parental analogs the way most billionaires accrue supermodel girlfriends. If Alfred is the dad, and Gordon is the cool uncle, Leslie is the mom-grandma-hippie aunt.
Oh, and Jim stumbles upon a catatonic inmate who has been electrocuted directly to the brain.
Dr. Thompson and the criminally unhelpful Arkham director, Dr. Lang (The Wire's Sen. Clay Davis!) drop some exposition in the form of an order to Jim: Find out who is giving brutal electroshock pseudotherapy to patients.
