"Gotham"'s new tagline for season 4, "A Dark Knight."

Professor Pyg (Michael Cerveris) continues to instill fear in the people in the city as he torments James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) in the latest episode of the crime drama television series based on characters published by DC Comics and appearing in the Batman franchise, "Gotham." The upcoming installment titled "Let Them Eat Pie" will also see the partying habits of Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) get in the way of his relationship with Alfred (Sean Pertwee).

The promo for the second season's sixth episode shows Gordon letting the city's press know that the GCPD will put a stop to Professor Pyg's reign of terror. However, the professor does not seem to be fazed by Gordon's threats as he is seen putting on a pig mask as he plots his next move on the corrupt residents of Gotham.

In the preview, Professor Pyg is shown crashing Sofia Falcone (Crystal Reed) and Penguin's fund raiser for the orphanage. Everyone at the dinner table is held hostage as the professor proceeds to cut the hands off of random people using his knife. Penguin takes none of Pyg's antics and threatens him. A majority of the hostages were allowed to exit the premises leaving Pyg with Penguin and a terrified Sofia.

In the previous episode, Penguin sent Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) and the Sirens to capture The Riddler a.k.a. Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) after getting word that The Riddler made fun of him in a fight club at The Narrows. However, Barbara and the Sirens are unable to accomplish Penguin's orders.

Unlike other shows which are already gearing up for a break, the ninth episode of "Gotham" season 4 does not mark the show's end for the fall season. This is probably the case because the series started production all the way back in June.

"Gotham" season 4 episode 9 will air on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 9 p.m. EST on FOX.
