To this point, it felt like The Penguin was just about a sleazy underboss attempting to make his way to the top, but perhaps with a heart of gold. That's changed.

The title of The Penguin Episode 4 is “Cent’Anni,” an Italian term roughly meaning “100 years.” Generally used as a toast in times of celebration, it’s supposed to serve as a wish for every participant to have a long life and reach 100 years of age.

Of course, the Hollywood flipside of “It’s fun to watch beautiful people do terrible things” is “It’s fun to watch terrible things be done to beautiful people.” That’s what the bulk of The Penguin Episode 4 is about: the methodical destruction of Sofia Falcone’s personality in Arkham State Hospital by a system rigged by her serial-killer mob-boss father to do exactly that.
