Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's Butler

The Heavy Crown

Thomas Wayne has been promoted to Station Chief and sent back to London by the CIA, whose official policy is to stay neutral in the ongoing civil war. This puts Wayne at odds with his onetime flame, Martha Kane, who's now working with Inspector Victor Aziz to support the English League Resistance alongside the Queen. True to form, the League still calls upon Alfred for his skillset -- for a price. Martha and Aziz hire Alfred and his mates to abduct and deliver a high-level Raven asset, Colonel John Salt. Meanwhile at a Raven Detention Center, Bet Sykes is now proudly working as a Captain in the ranks, rounding up student activists, including Katie Browning with whom she makes an unexpected connection.

The Burning Bridge

Still on the run, Bet and Katie find a place to hide, while Bet seeks help from her old friend, James Harwood. Harwood faces a moral dilemma presented to him in the form of Colonel Salt's latest deadly program, Stormcloud. Back in London, Alfred's plans for an imminent departure to America are put on hold when someone close to him is put in danger. Lastly, Thomas is ordered by the CIA to spearhead an operation he's not entirely on board with -- one that will bring him to cross purposes with Martha and leave him indebted to old foe, Aleister Crowley.

The Belt and Welt

With bombing in the streets, civil war has come to London, but Alfred's got his own priorities. Number one on the list is determining who has the gall and wherewithal to steal from him and his mates. Alfred pays a visit to professional thief and onetime comrade, Gulliver "Gully" Troy to confront him but is instead made a surprising offer. Meanwhile, Aleister Crowley sets in motion a plan to take down the English League's moral center Archbishop Potter -- with unintended results. Martha Kane is disappointed with both Alfred and Thomas for playing both sides in the conflict. Bet and Katie find refuge with an old friend, allowing Bet to finally make contact with Lord Harwood. Lastly, Alfred tracks down the culprit who stole from him, but the recovery mission goes drastically awry.

The Hunted Fox

Still haunted by recent tragedy, Alfred is more determined than ever to leave England behind. Putting aside any scruples, he agrees to join Gully's team on an upcoming job, but tensions run high between Alfred and his old Captain. Meanwhile, Bet and Katie make it back to North London in search of Bet's sister, Peg. In the absence of Archbishop Potter, the English League set out to elect a new Prime Minister -- and John Ripper makes a shocking case with a brutal manifesto. Thomas comes to Martha to beg a personal favor involving his sister Patricia and her latest romantic obsession. Lastly, pressure in the ranks of the Raven Union begins to take its toll on Harwood and push him toward the deployment of Colonel Salt's horrific Stormcloud program.

The Bleeding Heart

Alfred comes to Thomas looking for a way out to America but realizes that the price he'd have to pay would be too steep -- and he doesn't want to be in debt to the CIA. With Daveboy in tow, Alfred returns to Gully to run one last job in order to buy their passage out. Meanwhile, the Union's Frances Gaunt holds a clandestine meeting with new Prime Minister Aziz hoping to open channels with the League and negotiate a surrender before Project Stormcloud makes it too late. When Harwood learns about Gaunt's meeting, he feels betrayed and reaches out to the only friends he feels he can truly trust -- the Sykes sisters. Unfortunately, Bet's past is catching up with her as we learn more of her dark, dysfunctional history.

The Rose and Thorn

Even though Alfred has raised the funds for his passage to America, Thomas Wayne offers him a lucrative job anyway -- to extract the undercover Lucius Fox from Raven headquarters without compromising his CIA identity. When Alfred refuses, Thomas meets with Martha and Prime Minister Aziz and asks them to apply pressure on his behalf. In return, Thomas helps with a plan that pits Aleister Crowley against Aziz's political rival, John Ripper. At the behest of the Prime Minister and the Queen, Alfred agrees to take the job, alongside Daveboy and Martha Kane -- especially when Aziz threatens to reveal Alfred's dangerous relationship with Melanie Troy. Meanwhile, Colonel Salt worms his way further into Lord Harwood's paranoid mind, bringing Project Stormcloud one step closer to being unleashed.

The Bloody Mary

While Harwood recovers from his mental breakdown under guard at his estate, John Salt maneuvers his way into taking control of the Raven Union, much to the dismay of the others in charge. Realizing the imminent danger to Harwood, a source inside the Ravens alerts the Sykes sisters who come to Harwood's estate to rescue their old friend. Meanwhile, Thomas and Lucius are shocked to discover that their government refuses to act on Stormcloud. Their only hope is to defy orders and alert Martha, Aziz and the League of the coming chemical apocalypse. Lastly, Alfred's departure day is at hand, but will his feelings for Melanie Troy complicate his resolve?

The Hangman's Noose

While Daveboy watches Mrs. Pennyworth, Alfred accompanies Aziz to facilitate a meeting between the League and Colonel Salt's Raven Union. As news of Harwood's death spreads across the countryside, Salt sits down with League leadership to negotiate peace ... but compromise and reconciliation are not part of his plan. Meanwhile, Martha finally comes clean with Thomas about her dilemma, but Thomas's unexpected reaction is more than she counted on. Lastly, Alfred realizes that he's got to confront Gully before the dangerous killer finds him, but his attempt to broker peace between them escalates into an all-out fight for survival.

The Paradise Lost

Recovering at home, Alfred is paid a visit by Thomas, Martha and Lucius who warn him about the Raven Union's looming ultimatum. With less than 48 hours, the four hatch another "mad job" which involves infiltrating Raven headquarters and stealing the lethal vial of Stormcloud. Knowing it's a virtual suicide mission, Alfred seeks out Sandra to offer an apology and his love. At the same time, Thomas proposes marriage to Martha. As Alfred, Daveboy, Thomas and Lucius execute their plan, Bet and Peggy Sykes set in motion a plan of their own to honor the wishes of the late Lord Harwood. With everyone converging in Raven headquarters, the conniving Salt always seems two steps ahead -- and he does his best to shake Alfred with a face from his past.

The Lion and Lamb

The League celebrates the successful outcome of Alfred's latest mission against the Raven Union, but all is not as it seems. Unfortunately, Salt has other plans to definitively end the war. With the lethal Stormcloud threat still looming, there's an unexpected reunion at the Pennyworth household. Meanwhile, Thomas and Martha face the inevitable and decide to get married, in advance of their child being born. As London faces its demise, Alfred makes a last-ditch effort to thwart the Raven threat and stop Stormcloud with the help of his family, his mates and even the Sykes sisters.
