What Awaits Fans in The Penguin Episode 6?

Oswald’s Ambitions in the Bliss Business

In episode 3 of The Penguin, Oswald and Sofia collaborated to distribute a new drug strain dubbed Bliss, derived from medication used in Arkham’s treatment of inmates.

While they initially found success with a distributor and conducted a promising trial, things spiraled out of control when the Maronis intercepted them, informing Sofia about Oswald’s murder of her brother.

However, as episode 5 concluded, it teased Oswald’s intention to delve deeper into the Bliss trade. He and Victor uncovered neglected underground railroad tunnels in Gotham, ripe for growing mushrooms needed for Bliss production. The episode wraps up, leaving the audience eagerly anticipating Oswald’s next steps.

In episode 6, fans can look forward to Oswald making significant moves to dominate the Bliss market from the newly discovered tunnels, as hinted in the upcoming episode’s teaser.

Oswald’s Collaborations with Crime Families

Despite the initial success in finding a distributor alongside Sofia, Oswald is now left to navigate the business alone after their partnership fell apart. With Sofia sidelined, he stands as the sole distributor of Bliss and is motivated to expand his operations significantly, aiming to reach the heights of success that Carmine and the Maronis once enjoyed.

The teaser for episode 6 reveals Oswald strategizing to form alliances with other crime families to “reclaim Gotham,”which will be crucial for his ambition to become the city’s formidable kingpin.

Sofia and Sal’s Alliance

In the forthcoming episode 6, viewers can expect Sofia and Sal to join forces to bring Oswald down. After Oswald turned against her, leading to her confinement in Arkham and the loss of Alberto, Sofia harbors deep resentment. Sal, too, shares a vendetta against Oswald for the brutal murder of his wife and son. Both characters are driven by substantial motives to exact revenge.

However, the alliance, which involves a Falcone (or Gigante, as Sofia prefers) pairing with a Maroni, leaves plenty of room for complications and unforeseen developments.
