In the last episode titled "Arkham", Gordon and Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) was on a mission to save the Mayor from the dangerous criminals of the infamous city.
The next task for the protectors of the criminal city is to save the streets of "Gotham" from new drug dealers. "Gordon and Bullock search for the source of a new street drug that causes euphoria then death," stated the official synopsis of the fifth episode titled "Viper".
Though the viewers will have to wait until 20 October to know more about the new drug dealers of the city, there are a lot more awaiting the fans of "Gotham" in its upcoming episode.

It remains to be seen whether The Penguin will manage to gain the trust of Maroni as the latter is seen testing the loyalty of Cobblepot in a promotional image released by Fox, reported the fan site.
