She can answer every riddle he poses to her. They share a kiss and make dinner plans. At work at the Library, Penguin shows up and meets Isabella. He wants to learn about the history of Gotham. She tells Penguin how much she enjoys Nygma, and he says he hasn’t seen Nygma this happy since he got out of Arkham. Isabella doesn’t know about Nygma’s time there. After their conversation, Isabella researches Nygma and his crimes. On the date, Nygma explains that he did kill Miss Kringle, but it wasn’t out of malice. However, Isabella has read every article about him and she still came on the date anyway. She says that no man she has ever dated has ever lived up to her books, but Nygma is the first to measure up. He asks if she’s afraid of him, and she says she is. They share a kiss. Penguin walks in and sees them kissing, and then he excuses himself from the room.
