Kate (Ruby Rose) learns that vigilante work is Kryptonite to burgeoning relationship in “Who Are You?” This likely means we’ve seen the last of Reagan (Brianne Howey) as a love interest for Kate, which is too bad as Howey and Rose have good chemistry on-screen and the character’s bubbly optimism was a nice (albeit short) addition to the show. For the villain of the week, the show brings in Rachel Matthews as the jewel thief Magpie who steals, among other things, Martha Wayne’s pearl necklace. The pearls mark another instance where the show works twice as hard to set-up an over-complicated series of events rather than Kate simply choose to use the pearls and lure Magpie into a trap.

While Kate (Ruby Rose) buys a temporary truce with Alice (Rachel Skarsten), Batwoman introduces another Bat-character in Tommy Elliot (Gabriel Mann). Like most of Gotham, Elliot is obsessed with the news of the return of Batman. Unlike most of Gotham, Elliot’s obsession is to kill Batman (who he knows is actually Bruce Wayne). To that end, he’s stolen Wayne technology capable of cracking the Bat-suit and is holding hostages demanding his childhood friend make an appearance. Elliot’s obsession to Batman makes Kate realize more than just giving Gotham City hope, putting on the suit is also an announcement to Batman’s old enemies that the Dark Knight has returned.

The follow-up to the show’s pilot episode features Kathy Kane (Ruby Rose) continuing to use Batman’s tech while also attempting to convince her family that Alice (Rachel Skarsten) is her sister Elizabeth. By the end of the episode both sisters will know more about each other, and Kathy will save her half-sister Mary (Nicole Kang) from Alice’s jealous wrath. In may ways “The Rabbit Hole” feels like the second-half of the show’s pilot. Despite using the tech, Kathy doesen’t comprehend what the possible return of Batman to Gotham may mean for the dying city as her main focus is preventing her father from shooting Alice on sight before she has a chance to confirm her sister’s identity. The tease for next week suggests our first look at Kathy embracing the cowl and adding the necessary flourishes to allow Batwoman to finally step into the light.

First seen in the Elseworlds crossover, Kathy Kane (Ruby Rose) returns in her own show with Batwoman. Ruby Rose is the show’s biggest asset, especially for an episode that doesn’t see Batwoman take flight until the final act. Taking place prior to the events in “Elseworlds Part 2,” the show’s pilot episode introduces us to Kathy before she takes on the mantle of the Bat. We’re given flashbacks to Kate’s family tragedy (the loss of her sister and mother) and the end of her first romance that didn’t fit into her girlfriend’s (Meagan Tandy) military career. Sophie‘s (Tandy) kidnapping by a new super-villain brings Kate back to a Gotham struggling after the disappearance of Batman years before.
