1.09 How Queer Everything Is Today!

[Tim]

This one hit home to Kate.  When she saw that she was dealing with a young girl, named Parker Torres, who was gay and who was outed before she was ready.  You could see that Kate no doubt went through something similar. 

Of course, Alice had to stick her nose in.   

When Kate tells Parker to run, why does Parker run towards Alice, not away from her.

Of course, Kate saves the day.  Loved the bit at the end, when she and that policeman meet again.  The crowd is going "kiss, kiss, kiss," and Kate says, "Nope, not happening."

Alice is finally captured. 

Parker gets community service, no doubt thanks to Kate.

And the ending, where Kate comes into her office and sees this woman who claims to be Beth.  Is this someone from one of the lost parallel worlds (as was reveals on Supergirl)?

Going in I knew things would be changed due to Crisis more so on Supergirl and Black Lighting because their worlds weren't on earth 1 originally so I didn't expect Gotham to have too many implications though Beth at the end was a plot twist who either is 1) Earth Prime Beth who never died then. 2) A doppelganger of former earth 1 Beth or 3) Earth 99 Beth who somehow's now on Earth Prime which Batman didn't say what had happened to her on earth 99.

Either way the implications it'll have on Jacob and Kate and how they react to that going forward will be interesting to see.

This episode otherwise like Tim said was a personal one for Kate due to the subject matter which she dealt with okay I think and nice to see she made Parker do community service and not jail time because she weren't evil really just lost in a sense that I hope Kate helps her with.

Nice touch with Kara's Catco article at the end whom I expected Kate would have interview Batwoman being the person she trusts mostly solidifying their friendship more for the upcoming crossover ep.

Sophie needs to evaluate her sexuality since her husband left and tell Kate she likes her if that's the case or leave of dating until she's sure what she wants obviously.

I was glad Mary and Kate made up evidently not just because their stepsisters but after what happened with Catherine they'll need each other to lean on and talk about things.

I assume things hadn't changed like Supergirl with Lex because Alice, Mouse and events prior Crisis had still happened then meaning is it the same with Legends, Arrow or the Flash respectively or not in their case?

I figured that Batwoman would be the show least change because it's so new.   This second Beth might be one, and, if that is true, she will have to be told that her world is gone and she will have to make the best of it on Earth Prime. 

Of course, Kate understood what Parker was going through.  I imagine Kate went though the same thing when she was younger.
