The Penguin fans may have loved seeing Oz Cobb bond with the likes of the young boy Victor, but episode 2 pretty much reminded them just how dangerous the Batman villain can be when things don't go his way.
SPOILER WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for The Penguin, so proceed with caution.
Victor May Not Have Known What The Penguin is Capable Of
The Penguin episode 2 titled Inside Man continues where we left off with the series premiere. While Sofia Falcone is still recovering from losing her only family, Alberto, Oz Cobb is doing everything to keep Sofia off his track.
Despite fans viewing Victor (played by Rhenzy Feliz), somewhat of a henchman for Oz, as a soft spot for the Penguin, Oz doesn't get all soft when he wants things done a certain way. His way.
Victor already saved Oz's skin once, when they set up Alberto's corpse in the back of a car to set up someone else behind the murder. That, however, is only the beginning of their partnership.
In this case, Oz was disappointed that Victor choked on planting the jewels meant for Viti. Due to the hesitation, Oz nearly got killed. Episode 2 is where Penguin sets things straight between the two of them.
They were not friends, and Victor clearly worked for him. That's how it works. The Penguin threatened he would bury Victor with the dead bodies of Ervad and Castillo if he ever screws up his job again.
Even though the episode's ending traumatized Vic, this also reminded DC fans that the Penguin is one of the most notorious Dark Knight villains to exist in the franchise.
As Oz told Vic, he's going to have to dig deep if he truly has what it takes to do his job.
Without another word, even as Oz turns to meet up with Sofia, Vic does what he's been told to. He starts burying the corpses, perhaps highlighting the beginning of his journey as the Penguin's right-hand man.
