'Gotham' season 3 episode 10 spoilers: Revenge puts city in jeopardy as Jim Gordon fights to uphold law

The city of Gotham gets a taste of a former mob boss' wrath in the next episode of FOX's pre-Batman crime series. While the future Dark Knight himself sets his eyes on the mysterious Court of Owls, Barbara (Erin Richards) goes after Mayor Cobblepot aka Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) with her own personal vendetta.

In "Gotham" season 3 episode 10 titled "Time Bomb," irony becomes Don Falcone (John Doman) when he turns to Jim (Ben McKenzie) for help in safeguarding his son Mario (James Carpinello) and his future daughter-in-law Lee (Morena Baccarin) after a threat to their lives is revealed on the eve of their rehearsal dinner. But things might not go so well when the ex-crime boss decides to take matters into his own hands with dire consequences for the city he once loved.

The episode preview shows the old Don telling Jim to let things go and let him take care of matters his own way. But it takes more than just threatening words to make Jim stand down. Now that he's back with the Gotham City Police Department, and his mentor Capt. Barnes (Michael Chiklis) is in a cell in Arkham Asylum, it is up to the future commissioner of Gotham to uphold the law in his city.

The preview also shows Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) finally exacting revenge on the people he assumed to be responsible for Isabella's (Chelsea Spack) death. But he and Penguin mistakenly discount the possibility of Barbara going after them for Tabitha (Jessica Lucas) and Butch's (Drew Powell) disappearances. Her appearance may also reveal a side to the story of Isabella's death that could put a wedge between Nygma and Penguin's friendship.

Meanwhile, Bruce (David Mazouz) finds out about the Court of Owls' role in the death of his parents and goes out to seek his own kind of justice with Selina (Camren Bicondova) and Alfred (Sean Pertwee) by his side.

"Gotham" season 3 episode 10 airs on Monday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
