Both Beth and Alice cant exist in a single universe.
It causes some serious problems, and nowboth of them are dying.
The thing is, not everyone is on the same page.
Mary doesnt think Alice is worth saving.
Shes on a power trip after Jacob gives her a rah-rah using excessive force is heroic and necessary!
speech, sending The Crows into every disadvantaged community in Gotham to look for Alice.
She also gives her team a shoot to kill order, so thats fun.
Still, it all contributes to the feeling thatBatwomandoesnt have a hold on its characters and their motivations.
Sophie has been about five different people across these 12 episodes.
Jacob is barely a character with actual emotions and ideas.
Mary is there largely to be the contrasting voice to Kates own motivations.
Alice isnt a complicated character whos morally ambiguous; shes just thinly written.
She gives the syringe of blood to Kate, who has to make the tough choice.
The episode crosscuts between Kate sitting with Beth and Alice, trying to ratchet up the tension.
And so begins another round of can Alice really be saved?
which you would think is a question that has already been answered.
