In the next episode of "Gotham," Professor Pyg (Michael Cerveris) continues to torment the people of the city including James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Oswald Cobblepot a.k.a. Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor).

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Let Them Eat Pie" was released just recently and showed Gordon telling the press people, "Let me be clear. GCPD will stop this monster." The police department is determined to put a stop to Pyg and his psychotic ways. However, he is not the least bit worried. The professor is shown putting on the dreaded pig mask and preparing to make his next move on Gotham's corrupt residents. He crashes Penguin and Sofia Falcone's elite fundraiser for the orphanage and takes everyone hostage at the dinner table. Pyg then jumps on the dining spread, takes out his knife and chops the hands of some random people. He barely misses slicing the hands of Falcone who shudders in fear.

Penguin refuses to be tormented by Pyg and tries to fight back. He threatens the maniac in the mask who just replies, "I am not finished." Apparently some of the hostages are set free but Gordon and Falcone are left behind. He suddenly throws his chopping knife at Gordon which flies inches away from his head. Falcone screams in terror as it takes place. It remains to be seen if Gordon and the police will be able to catch the elusive Pyg and stop him from killing more people.

In the last episode, Penguin got word that The Riddler a.k.a. Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) was making fun of him in a fight club in the Narrows. He sent Barbara Kean (Erin Richards) and the Sirens to bring him in but they failed miserably.

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