In this episode, Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Bullock (Donal Logue) investigate a killer with a fight club while Bruce (David Mazouz) returns to the school since the death of his parents.
The episode was watched by 6.35 million viewers and received positive reviews with critics commenting on Bruce's storyline.
"[3] Matt Fowler of IGN gave the episode a "good" 7.8 out of 10 and wrote in his verdict, "The 'case of the week' and Barbara's decision to unravel into a mess and leave Jim again (!)
When Sarah Essen shows up at the episode's end and helps save Gordon, it doesn't feel like a triumph of the system, or a sudden turn for the GCPD towards actual policing.
Instead, it's a tidy end to an episode that's supposed to make us cheer for Gordon, but only continues to outline how sloppy and inconsequential these procedural storylines can be.
